Myths and misinformation remain significant barriers to EV uptake but new research shows the opportunity to reverse them through fact-based public education. Almost three-quarters (71%) of UK drivers who don’t yet drive electric cite ‘range anxiety’ as their number one concern, despite significant improvements in EV range. Purchase price also remains a top concern (62%), despite the average used EV price dropping by over 20% since 2023 and expected to fall another 28% by 2030. The majority (88%) of current EV drivers also report dissatisfaction with public charging – citing cost, availability and reliability. John Lewis, CEO of Char.gy, said: “EVs aren’t a distant future anymore: they’re here, they’re affordable, and they’re rapidly outpacing combustion cars on performance and value.
