Abstract:

In 2015 a survey among very electro mobility experienced people was conducted in Germany. This survey is part of the government founded “monitoring and impact research for the German showcase program for electro mobility”. The main question in the survey was to get more information about the reasons why even well informed people with a positive attitude concerning electric cars are not yet buying them. As the participants of this survey should be very experienced in electric mobility the survey was sent out to more than 800 persons who are part in all the German electric mobility research projects. Three special analysis were carried out to investigate conspicuous differences i.e. owners vs. non-owners, non-owners member of research program vs. non-owner other people and non-owners with different experience with electric cars. The conclusions of this survey will be used for developing measures to activate and stimulate the German market.
