More than 50% unlikely to go electric with next car.Half don’t agree that EVs are better for the environment.Misinformation at the heart of the EV adoption challenge
The government has in recent years set out ambitious plans to have one million EVs on Irish Roads by 2030. Sales of EVs have been progressing well, with nearly a fifth of sales this year to date being full EV. However, even if every car sold from tomorrow was fully electric, the government would still fall short of its target. AA Ireland’s survey backs this up, with only 22% of respondents agreeing that the government is doing enough to facilitate EV adoption.
The AA Ireland survey showed that 53% believed that EV batteries last less than 100,000km, which is about 6 years driving for the average motorist in Ireland. This doesn’t align with the 8 year and 160,000km warranties that many manufacturers are offering. Mrs Kilduff continued on to say that she was ‘quite surprised with people’s perception of EV batteries. It is disappointing to see that these myths are continuing to circulate.
