Poll Finds 40% of Brits Will Consider Buying an Electric Vehicle in the Next 5 Years; 72% Have Never Seen a Public Charger



Will “consider” buying is certainly not the same as actually purchasing, but at least there are signs that Britain is getting more on board to the idea of of possibly owning an electric vehicle in the near future.

A poll conducted by Censuswide shows that over 40% of Britain’s drivers would consider buying an electric vehicle within the next 5 years if certain limitations to EV can be overcome. Those limitations or barriers are strictly related to cost and public infrastructure, both of which should be a non-issue in 5 years’ time.
