European owners of electric vehicles travel on average 14,200 km1 annually, which is 630 kilometers more than the 13,600 km1 traveled by owners of petrol and diesel vehicles. This was revealed by research conducted by Nissan. The results of this research highlight the great potential of sustainable mobility and its excellent prospects for diffusion in Europe. In view of the World Environment Day, Saturday 05 June, designed to encourage awareness and action for environmental protection worldwide, this study highlights how the environmental benefits of electric mobility are a key factor in addressing ecological challenges. . “This research reaffirms that electric driving is not only a smart solution that helps the environment, but also a fun, exciting and affordable choice. It is no surprise that EV customers drive more miles than ICE customers. We believe that the spread of electric mobility will also help dispel myths about the range of these cars, “said Arnaud Charpentier, Region Vice President, Product Strategy and Pricing, Nissan AMIEO. Among the European owners of electric vehicles interviewed, the Italian ones are those who travel the most, with an average of over 15,000 km1,2 per year, followed by those of the Netherlands (14,800 km1,2). The majority of European electric vehicle owners (69% 1) are satisfied with the current charging infrastructure available and see it as a positive opportunity for those who will switch to electric mobility. Similarly, almost a quarter (23% 1) say that the most common myth is that the current charging infrastructure is not adequate. Almost half (47% 1) of European ICE motorists say that the main advantage of a petrol or diesel car is greater range. In 30% 1 of those who do not consider an electric vehicle, the majority (58% 1) fear their low range. Also from the research, among the European owners of petrol or diesel cars it emerges that: 38% 1 believe that the most important factor of choice of an EV would be greater autonomy. 32% 1 would be attracted to the ease of charging. 30% 1 say that a better charging infrastructure would convince them to switch. These fears are completely absent in those who have already chosen an electric car. 70% 1 of current European owners of electric vehicles say that the range is better than expected. Therefore autonomy should not be a deterrent for owners of ICE cars to switch to an EV. “With the imminent widespread adoption of electric vehicles and with the technology continuing to enrich the lives of those who have chosen them, we can say that the positive results of this research should help owners of petrol and diesel cars to change their opinion about electric vehicles. , especially as regards autonomy. “, Arnaud continued. The survey highlights the different views on charging and infrastructure from EV and ICE owners. 56% of ICE owners who are not considering an electric vehicle believe there are not enough charging points. 56% think EVs are more expensive to buy than their petrol / diesel equivalents. However, more than a quarter of European electric vehicle drivers say that running out of charge (28% 1), charging time (30% 1) and the fact that electric vehicles are expensive (31% 1) are among the major myths of EVs. In the latest installment of the “My Life with a Nissan LEAF” series, Nissan LEAF owners share what they like best about owning an electric vehicle: range, advanced technology, safety and more. . Luis Charro, 84, Spanish, has decided to move to since retirement. Motivated by the benefits his EV has on the climate, Luis decided to have solar panels installed at his home to charge the car. Luis was surprised at how quickly he adapted to the electric mobility and advanced technology of his LEAF, proving that it is never too late to switch to an EV. Edwin Glaser lives in the Netherlands where the continuous improvements of the charging infrastructure, together with the technological innovations of Nissan LEAF, make him feel at ease when traveling long distances. Marco Massullo, who is a taxi driver in Rome, cannot do without a great driving range and was so impressed by his Nissan LEAF, which is already in its third LEAF. Finally, Maria Jansen, Norwegian, has recently celebrated her LEAF which is the number 500,000 produced in the world. With her new 62KWh, Maria enjoys greater autonomy and a better driving experience. With his family living in Sweden, he has greater peace of mind knowing that his LEAF can handle long journeys with ease. During the first decade of its launch, Nissan LEAF was chosen by over 500,000 customers around the world, who have traveled a total of 400,000 times around the Earth. “This is an important moment for the automotive industry. With Nissan Ariya, the 100% electric crossover coupe, and the new Qashqai with e-POWER technology we are expanding our range of electrified vehicles and there will be more choice for all customers who are thinking of switching to electric mobility, for the good of our planet “, continued Arnaud Charpentier.
