The widespread shift to electric vehicles (EVs) is often stalled by practical and psychological barriers that have nothing to do with the cars themselves. A groundbreaking nationwide study by char.gy and YouGov has definitively revealed the core problem: persistent misinformation is creating a "confidence gap" that is holding millions of willing drivers back from making the switch.
The report sets out to dismantle electric vehicle myths and provide the clear, fact-based public education needed to accelerate this transition.
John Lewis, CEO of char.gy, emphasizes the urgency of correcting the record:
“EVs aren’t a distant future anymore: they’re here, they’re affordable, and they’re rapidly outpacing combustion cars on performance and value. But the data shows the biggest barrier isn’t the vehicles, it’s the stories we tell about them. If we can debunk the myths and meet people where they are, especially at the kerbside, we’ll accelerate this transition faster and fairer.”
The full document reveals the exact strategies, demographic profiles, and myth-busting facts needed to make the EV choice easy and move people from skepticism to confidence.
