There is a large gap between fleet managers\u00a0saying their<\/span>\u00a0drivers like driving\u00a0EVs<\/span>\u00a0and consumers wanting to buy\u00a0them<\/span>, a\u00a0survey\u00a0<\/span>has found.<\/span><\/p>\n

The AA\u2019s\u00a0Operational Fleet Insight Report 2019-20<\/i>\u00a0found that while 57% of fleet managers believe drivers in their fleets prefer driving an EV over an ICE<\/span>\u00a0vehicle, only 13% would actually consider buying one. When asked what fuel their next vehicle purchase would use, 53% said\u00a0gasoline<\/span>\u00a0with 13% apiece for electric and diesel, whereas\u00a0PHEV<\/span>\u00a0fared slightly better\u00a0at<\/span>\u00a018%.<\/span><\/p>\n

The barriers to entry for buying an\u00a0EV<\/span>\u00a0are still the perceived lack of charging infrastructure and the initial cost of a vehicle, with 64% of consumers believing the charging infrastructure to be the main barrier. Within five years, 57% of fleets expect to be using\u00a0EVs<\/span>\u00a0in some capacity with 29% currently using them. This is contrasted by 89% of fleets currently using diesel vehicles with 75% expecting to still be using diesel in some capacity in 2024.\u00a0Gasoline<\/span>\u00a0use\u00a0is<\/span>\u00a0also\u00a0likely to slip<\/span>\u00a0slightly with 67% using now versus 63%\u00a0expected\u00a0<\/span>in five years.<\/span><\/p>\n

TU-Automotive<\/i>\u00a0spoke to Mike Vousden, automotive analyst at GlobalData, to gain some insight. He said: \u201cThis tallies with our findings in relation to consumer sentiment for EVs. There is definitely a gulf between the vehicles automotive companies are designing for next-generation mobility and the feedback from consumers in terms of the actual vehicles they want to purchase. Many barriers to increased EV adoption revolve around negative consumer perceptions of EV ownership \u2013 range, cost, recharging availability \u2013 and challenging these perceptions will be critical to bringing EVs to the mass market.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
