Drivers admit 'main reason' for not buying electric cars and call for 'major reduction' pfront costs for new and second-hand models are the biggest reason holding back motorists from switching to electric vehicles, according to a new poll.
A new survey conducted by Express.co.uk found that road users were concerned about the cost of electric models and called for major reductions.
When asked what extra support could convince drivers to make the transition to EVs, more than a quarter backed lower costs.
A staggering 27.2 percent of respondents said that lower costs to purchase models may convince them to look into switching.
New electric models are still out of many people's price ranges with average fees of around £50,000.
Why many Australians are choosing NOT to buy electric cars.
Soaring insurance premiums are among the challenges facing drivers who want to switch from a conventional car to an electric vehicle, an inquiry has been told.
As costs rise insurers are 'opting for write-offs rather than repairs' because of limited access to spare parts and a shortage of mechanics, national president of the Australian Electric Vehicle Association Christopher Jones said in Canberra on Friday.
Bans on charging electric vehicles in apartment car parks were another hurdle, with the association advocating a 'right to charge' for everyone.
