There is no turning back for e-car drivers, but in this case that’s a good thing. Because practically everyone who has switched from a combustion engine to an electric vehicle can no longer imagine going back to the old drive. But that does not blind us to the tasks that still lie ahead of e-mobility.
E-car drivers: Hardly anyone wants to go back to the combustion engine
E-cars convince their drivers, and not too closely. This is shown by a survey commissioned by the online car market mobile.de. Accordingly, are proud 97.5 percent of the e-car drivers surveyed were so satisfied that no other drive is possible for them.
Anyone who drives a hybrid is also quite happy with it: at 88.3 percent, plug-in hybrids are even more popular than mild hybrid models (85.4 percent). In the eyes of most drivers, however, the latter should hardly count as an electric car anyway.

While 82 percent of all-electric car owners would not switch again, they can Imagine hybrid drivers switching to a fully electric car as well – with an overwhelming majority of 80 percent. Among petrol and diesel drivers, the willingness to switch to a pure e-car is even higher at 65.8 percent than the general willingness to change drive (around 40 percent). This includes a switch to hybrids.
Reservations about electric cars: Drivers do not agree
Anyone who already drives an e-car obviously feels confirmed by the experience they have had: the switch was the right decision. However, it does not blind to the tasks that still have to be done. The respondents – around 3,000 e-car owners between the ages of 18 and 75 – were able to confirm some well-known reservations about e-mobility (source: mobile.de).
Why you too should switch to the electric car better today than tomorrow:
So 33 percent stated that the range was still too small. On average, the survey participants covered 253.8 kilometers a week in their e-car. 29 percent also complained about too few charging options, especially in the immediate vicinity. At least 23 percent stated that charging would take too long.
But that is by no means a reason to turn your back on the electric car. In addition more than a third of those surveyed (33.5 percent) did not confirm any of the common prejudices about electromobility Has. The reactions are balanced here.
