A survey by OOONO finds that 55% of drivers are hesitant to switch to electric vehicles (EVs) due to uncertainty around Government policy and concerns over potential additional charges. 21% of drivers would bring forward an EV purchase if new incentives were announced in the Autumn Budget, with younger drivers notably more responsive to such incentives.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
Government indecision on EV incentives is freezing more than half of potential EV buyers. You need to prepare for a sales surge if new subsidies land and rethink marketing to younger drivers now.
