Why the switch is stalling: ACV survey reveals skepticism about electric cars
Among users of conventional propulsion, the cost issue continues to dominate. Nearly 30 percent cite the high purchase price as the main argument against switching. Another 16 percent are concerned about the charging infrastructure – whether because of missing charging options at home or due to a lack of trust in the public charging network. Around 11 percent doubt that the range is sufficient.
Between skepticism and everyday experience
ACV managing director Holger Küster puts these results into context:
„There is not a single reason that keeps people from switching to an electric car. What matters is the interplay of various factors. Price remains central: electromobility must not only be something people want to afford, but also be able to afford. Despite falling battery prices and rising competition, many models are still too expensive for broad segments of buyers.“
The division in the assessment of everyday practicality is particularly pronounced. While electric-car drivers consider many of the common reservations to be exaggerated, they continue to shape the image among combustion-engine drivers. Thus nearly 68 percent of them fear that with an electric car, due to the lack of charging options, they would be stranded. Among electric-car drivers, however, 63 percent regard this worry as unwarranted. A similar pattern is evident on the topic of range: 65 percent of combustion-car drivers see electric cars as unsuitable for longer trips, while 63 percent of electric-car drivers disagree with this assessment.
For Küster, this constitutes a central finding of the study:
"The survey clearly shows: Skepticism toward electric mobility remains high. At the same time, it becomes evident that for those who already use an electric car, it mostly works in daily life. This practical experience is an important signal, because it shows that many concerns are mainly based on uncertainty and lack of familiarity."
Reliable and Long-Term Framework Conditions Are Essential
This gap is particularly significant for commercial traffic, for example in the taxi and rental-car sectors. For them, everyday practicality determines not only acceptance but also profitability. Therefore, Küster sees politics as chiefly responsible:
„The more so, politics is called upon: It must create reliable and long-term framework conditions, keep investments in infrastructure and market incentives stable, and clearly support electric mobility. Only in this way does the trust arise that is essential for the success of the mobility transition.“
