48% 1 suggest there is not enough public charging infrastructure.56% 1 think they are more expensive to buy than their petrol/diesel equivalent.56% 1 of ICE drivers who are not considering an EV believe there are not enough charging points.The survey also uncovers a strong disconnect surrounding charging and infrastructure from those EV drivers who currently utilise the facilities, and the impression of those ICE drivers yet to benefit from them, highlighting starkly different viewpoints. ![]() These findings serve as a strong indication to ICE drivers that range should not be a deterring factor for switching to an EV. 70% 1 of existing EV drivers note their experience of range has been better than they expected. However, despite these results, drawing comparison with those who have already converted to an electric car, EV drivers confidently counteract these fears. 30% 1 note having a better charging infrastructure would persuade them to switch.32% 1 of ICE drivers would be drawn by ease of charging.38% 1 of ICE drivers believe the biggest pull-factor would be greater range.Likewise, when looking into the reasons behind the 30% 1 of ICE drivers who are unlikely to consider a fully electric vehicle, the majority (58% 1) said the biggest concern is that EVs have low driving range autonomy.įurther exploration into factors that would convince drivers to switch unsurprisingly reveal: Likewise, almost a quarter (23% 1) say the most common myth surrounding EV driving is that the current charging infrastructure cannot cope, indicating high satisfaction in existing EV drivers, and a positive opportunity for future adopters.Īlmost half (47% 1) of ICE drivers say the main advantage of a petrol or diesel car is greater range autonomy. Reassuringly, the majority (69% 1) of EV drivers are happy with the current charging infrastructure available. ![]() We are confident that with more electric vehicles on the road dispelling myths, range anxiety will soon be in the past,” said Arnaud Charpentier, Region Vice President, Product Strategy and Pricing, Nissan AMIEO. It is no surprise that people now drive EV further than ICE cars. “This research reiterates that electric driving is not only a smart option beneficial to the environment but also a fun, exciting and convenient choice for the owners. To help further understand the driving experiences and perception of motorists, the study reveals EV drivers are totalling on average more than 8,800 miles 1,2 annually.Ĭompared to their ICE driver counterparts, who are averaging 8,450 miles 1, this new research foresees a bright future for sustainable mobility.Īhead of World Environment Day on Saturday 05 June, designed to encourage worldwide awareness and action to protect our environment, these findings present electric mobility and its environmental benefits as a key driver in helping to tackle ecological challenges. ![]() In fact, on average they are annually travelling over 370 clean miles 1,2 further than internal combustion engine (ICE) drivers according to recent research commissioned by the automaker. In true testament to the satisfaction of zero-emission mobility, Nissan discovers EV drivers are going the extra mile.
