The majority of those who already have an electric car in the garage will also choose an electric car next time. But those without an electric car are adamant about saying no.
A new survey by the British financing company Refused Car Finance shows that motorists are generally in no hurry to switch to electric cars.
In fact, a whopping 66 percent of the motorists who were asked in the survey say no thanks to electric cars. Your next car doesn't have to run on electricity.
The biggest concern among these drivers is that the electric car is too expensive to purchase, has too little range and too few places to charge in public.
Conversely, 67 percent of those who had an electric car answered that they are quite satisfied. At least so satisfied that they have no intention of buying a diesel, petrol or hybrid car again.

That group of drivers places particular emphasis on the low operating costs and that the electric car apparently drives more comfortably.
How many motorists the British company has asked about their relationship with electric cars is not known. But the survey paints a picture that two-thirds of motorists are not yet ready to take the leap behind the wheel of an electric car.
However, they may be forced to do so. In a country like Norway, from 1 January 2025, all new cars that do not run exclusively on electricity will be banned.
And in Ethiopia, they want to ban the import of diesel and petrol cars already this year. However, that decision has nothing to do with a climate agenda. Ethiopians simply cannot afford anything else. Read more about it here .
Back with the English, motorists can wait to make that decision until 2035. Last year, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, who was exposed the same year for driving without a seat belt, delayed rolling back a ban on new diesel and petrol cars a bit. Read more about it here .
