Nine in ten electric vehicle owners will stick to a battery-powered model when they trade in their car, mainly due to lower operating costs, according to a survey by an international lobby group.
Of about 23,000 drivers surveyed by the Global EV Drivers Alliance, 92% plan to buy an EV again, while 1% said they would return to fossil fuel options. Some 4% of those surveyed said they would opt for a plug-in hybrid, according to the consumer lobby that represents about 336,000 EV drivers.
