Are Europeans finally ready to embrace electromobility?
“Many Europeans were slowly warming up to the idea of an EV as the car to buy in five to ten years, but the current energy shock is turning that into the car to buy next month,” said Burger.
Five years ago, BEUC the European consumer association, together with its national members, already pointed out that used electric cars were, in many cases, a cost-effective option (particularly when combined with smart charging).
Electric cars already cheapest option today for many consumers, new study finds
A medium-sized electric car bought today is already the most financially interesting solution over the car’s lifetime, research by BEUC and nine of its national member organisations reveals. We also find that electric cars are the most ‘equitable’ engine on the market: second- and third-hand owners – who bear less of the car’s depreciation and benefit from low maintenance costs – will make savings for each electric car sold today. First owners driving many kilometres can already save money today by choosing electric.
