Electric car buying could be supercharged by car manufacturers and dealers if they help tackle a number of issues that are putting customers off making the switch.

TLA, a consumer lead generation specialist with years of experience in providing car buyer leads to dealers and manufacturers, has produced an extensive piece of research following a series of interviews with consumers.

The White Paper – available to download exclusively from Car Dealer below – details the ‘drivers, barriers and hooks’ for owning an electric car.

Interest in electric cars has rocketed since the government’s announcement that it will be banning the sale of internal combustion engined models from 2030.

However, there is still reluctance among some car buyers to making the switch to a fully electric alternative.

This 11-page White Paper provides insight following hours of interviews with switchers, non-switchers and EV owners.

Interviewees were screened ahead of the research to ensure no family member worked in the car industry, their research process was over 10 hours and took place in the last six months.
