According to a survey, the majority of respondents believe that electric drives will prevail in cars, but very few want that. What speaks against buying an electric car?
According to a survey, the battery car is met with major reservations in Germany. According to the Allensbach survey for the German Academy of Science and Technology, a majority is convinced that the electric drive will prevail in the next ten years, but only 22 percent think this is desirable. The academy announced.
The circle for which the purchase of an electric car is fundamentally an option is stagnating at 23 percent. The main reservations are the purchase price, too few charging stations, expensive electricity and doubts about the environmental balance.
According to the survey, the car is indispensable for 72 percent of those surveyed. 47 percent use it daily and another 23 percent several times a week. The bicycle is used daily by 18 percent. In large cities, 30 percent see bus and train as a serious alternative. In villages, the proportion is 14 percent. 52 percent of regular users consider public transport to be expensive. 64 percent welcome the planned 49-euro ticket.
According to the survey, Germans are primarily focusing on expanding local public transport, shifting freight traffic to rail and waterways, low-emission drives and alternative fuels such as hydrogen to improve climate protection in transport.
Acatech President Jan Wörner said the survey shows that many people want climate-friendly transport but need solutions that are suitable for everyday use. “They must be heard, asked for and centrally involved in the design on site.”
