Mobility: More than one in four wants to switch to electric cars
Advances in range and charging speed are increasing interest in electric cars in Germany. A study shows what this means for drivers' willingness to switch.
A study by Here Technologies and SBD Automotive found that German drivers are the most willing to switch to electric vehicles in an international comparison. 27% of German owners of petrol and diesel vehicles plan to buy or lease an electric vehicle as their next car. The study, conducted among over 4,000 drivers in several countries, also found that 54% of German respondents are more interested in buying an electric vehicle now than a year ago.
Germany ranks sixth in a European ranking of 30 countries in terms of infrastructure, with a large fast-charging network of over 55,000 points and 210,000 public stations.
