30% of French people are thinking about buying an electric car

Are the French increasingly attracted to electric cars? According to a survey published by the Odoxa institute, 30% of them are considering buying an electric car. The survey reveals that the higher cost of an electric vehicle compared with a combustion-powered car, lack of range and too few recharging points are the main obstacles to buying an electric car. Price is an obstacle for 72% of French people, limitedrange for 53%, and 37% are opposed to the few charging stations currently available. The survey also reveals that 54% of French people are considering buying a hybrid model. An interesting statistic, demonstrating the French's interest in a new mode of transport, as well as their ecological awareness.

This online survey, carried out in early October among a sample of 1,000 French people and 304 technology, digital and innovation professionals, highlights the fact that only 12% of French people say they are "attached" to combustion-powered vehicles. State subsidies, such as the ecological bonus and the conversion bonus, are arguments that encourage them to take the plunge. They are well aware of the advantages that electric cars can offer over combustion-powered vehicles (silence, driving comfort, ease of maintenance, reduced greenhouse gas emissions, no traffic restrictions, free parking). For 63% of them, hybrid vehicles also appear to be an interesting alternative.
