Highlights
To harness consumers who are most interested in electric vehicles (EVs) and plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHVs), the automotive industry and utilities companies need to develop innovative ownership or rental schemes with a wide network of fast charging points away from peoples homes.
The alternative fuel vehicle (AFV) industry needs to educate consumers about any government incentives that make AFVs more affordable, and highlight the petrol prices and yearly mileage at which AFVs are expected to break even with conventional cars.
Consumers see hybrid/electric vehicles (HEVs) as inferior to conventional cars and are not prepared to pay a premium. Real life exposure and enthusiasm from opinion formers such as motor magazines are necessary.
