EV owners aren’t keeping their enthusiasm to themselves. Six in ten electric car drivers say they’ve persuaded someone else to switch to an EV, often through something as simple as a lift or a chat about running costs.
And when it comes to making the case for going electric, money does most of the talking. Lower running costs are the go-to argument for 58 per cent of respondents to the survey by Instavolt, ahead of the driving experience on 36 per cent. Environmental benefits are mentioned by 18 per cent, with the convenience of charging at home on 16 per cent.
