British singletons find electric vehicle owners 'sexier' than gas-guzzling drivers, according to a Tinder experiment - with profiles featuring green motors more than twice as likely to bag a date. More than a third (36%) of Brits said they'd be more likely to consider dating someone if they owned or drove an electric car.
The research, conducted by Big Motoring World, quizzed 2,000 Brits about what gets them hot under the collar, while they also conducted a social experiment to test their theories on Tinder. It appears that flashing your green credentials is a big way to woo the partner of your dreams.
Almost half (43%) of Brits admitted they'd be more inclined to date someone if they were passionate about stopping climate change. Belfast emerged as the place where single electric car owners might find it easiest to bag a date, with almost two-thirds of people (60%) reporting that they'd be more likely to date someone with an EV.
