"Knowledge and familiarity with electric vehicles (EVs) could be the missing
link in speeding up their adoption, with a new study published this week by
NRMA indicating that if motorists knew more about EVs they would be more
willing to buy them.
Australia has been a laggard in the uptake of EVs, but after a big burst in
interest over the last two years that trebled the market share of electric cars
in new car sales – up to around 10 per cent in some months – the growth has
stalled.
According to [the]
Changing Gears: The Road Ahead for EV Adoption in
Australia report, just 20 per cent of Australians planning to buy a vehicle in
the next five years are considering an EV.
According to the survey that percentage increases significantly – to 32 per
cent – among people who say they are already familiar with EVs.
Part of the problem, then, according to the report, is a lack of familiarity
with EVs in general, with only 26 per cent of Australians feeling knowledgeable
about the technology. Happily, nearly half (47 per cent) are eager to learn
more about EVs, paving the way for increased adoption."
