When we asked what is the main thing preventing you from buying an EV, a whopping 74.3% of those polled saying it was down to purchase cost. The next most cited reason was ‘range anxiety’, which 38.1% gave as a reason for holding off on a purchase.
Interestingly, 21.2% agreed that there isn’t enough choice in the electric vehicle market, something that will change fairly dramatically in 2012.
