Consumer Reports Electric Car Survey
March 19, 2010 · Filed Under Automobiles, News
Consumer reports recently conducted a survey on the features consumer would want from an electric car. Out of the 1,752 respondents, over 70% would consider buying an electric car based. That’s a good percentage especially considering that there are no electric cars available on the market. There were also many features that would have to be met for many of the people to buy.
- A range of around 89 miles.
- Only slightly higher price range than current gas-powered cars.
- Available charge stations, especially at work
Many of the expectations that the respondents could be met by the Nissan Leaf, an affordable price with a fairly high range. The hardest part to draw people to buy EV is going to be charge stations. Until many more charge stations are set up, people will be hesitant to buy.
