The latest survey shows that more than one in five British drivers say they like electric vehicles.
British electric car website DrivingElectric recently launched an investigation, would like to know how many owners will choose their electric vehicles as a means of transport. Owners to participate in the online survey of about 7200 people, the results showed a 22 percent driver said, is their first choice of electric vehicles powered models.
This result is almost twice as much as the same survey two years ago, and before the investigation is done by the parent company DrivingElectric Auto Express, the number of participants reached 13,000 thousand.
The British attitude towards electric vehicles have not had a cold in the transition from a positive direction. In 2017, only 10 percent of respondents said they want an electric car, while 26 percent of people are more favorable impression of diesel vehicles. In contrast, this year’s survey has found that the situation was reversed, the electric car attained during the first diesel vehicles more popular, only 19 percent of respondents said they would choose a diesel car.
However, rather strange compared to electric or diesel vehicles, hybrid vehicles has become the most unpopular choice, which is a gasoline or diesel-powered motor together to improve efficiency power system. However, considering there was 14 percent in 2017 said they would choose a hybrid drivers, and this year the figure was only 16 percentage results show that support increased only slightly.
However, in the survey DrivingElectric, the biggest winner is still gasoline, 37 percent unleaded gasoline owners choose to use traditional fuel vehicles. Although about 43 percent compared with 2017, which is a significant decline, but so far it is still the most popular British power options.
DrivingElectric said they are “closely tracking the views of electric car owners and potential buyers”, and noted the many new trends in the market. For example, the netStation said in a recent auto show, the owners visited the new electric car and discussed the future plan to purchase. But the site was found in the hearts of many buyers today are more concerned about electric cars can provide comfort and practicality (especially load capacity), consideration of these issues has exceeded the number of electric vehicles considering fuel cost savings of .
The site also said that many buyers want to convert from traditional fuel vehicles to electric vehicles, but not at the same time owning a hybrid. This argument also seems to be confirmed by the latest research, the survey shows that the interest in hybrid vehicles has changed little in two years.
DrivingElectric deputy editor of VickyParrott said that electric vehicles may soon surpass diesel vehicles, on British roads has become the second most popular new models. She said: “This is an important moment in the electric car market we now see in people’s attitudes to electric vehicles is constantly breakthrough small congregation is now a real phenomenon becomes a mainstream choice.”
