Drivers consider EV switch over air quality

The reduction in travel during the Coronavirus crisis, and the subsequent improvement in air quality, seems to be making more people think about buying an electric vehicle.

A survey by Venson Automotive Solutions says 45% of respondents said radical improvement on air pollution has made them reconsider their electric vehicle ownership plans.

19% said their next car will be an EV, with the remaining 26% confirming they intend to become an EV driver in the next 5 years. A previous survey found that 31% wouldn’t switch for another 10-15 years, suggesting the environmental issues has accelerated a change of heart since the virus hit.
