The consulting company Deloitte conducted extensive research, asking German drivers about their preferences. It turned out that the next time they buy a car, only 15 per cent of Germans will choose an electric car, while 40 per cent will buy a hybrid vehicle ) combination of electric engine and gasoline.

Most of those who are propassing electric vehicles as reasons cited high gas prices. If the electricity tax were as expensive as fossil fuels, 41 percent would review their decision and consider another type of vehicle.

A quarter of the surveyed German drivers cited autonomy in the workshop as the biggest concern for electric cars, and higher shopping spending (12 per cent). Almost a third of the 1,500 respondents said they would spend up to 2,000 euros more on an electric vehicle. On average, they cited a distance of 616 miles [616 km] made of electric car as a moment that would encourage them to think about buying.
