Survey results reveal that “more than 80％ have no intention of purchasing an EV”！ Why is this when many people have experience driving an EV through test drives or car sharing？
Park24, a company that operates paid parking and car sharing services, announced the results of a survey on electric vehicles (EVs) on September 9, 2024, revealing that “more than 80% of people have never considered purchasing an EV.” [Ah, that’s true…] These are the top reasons for not purchasing an EV (Image) The company conducted a survey of 5,749 people who used car-related services such as parking, car sharing, and rental cars, asking about their EV driving experience, consideration of purchasing an EV, and reasons for not purchasing one despite consideration. As a result, 80% of respondents answered that they had never considered purchasing an EV. What is noteworthy is that the younger the age group, the more likely they are to answer that they “did not consider it.” The lowest percentage of people who “didn’t consider it” were in their 60s at 77%, while the highest percentage was in their 20s at 90%. In addition, when asked “Why did you consider purchasing an EV but not do so (multiple answers allowed)?”, the most common answer at 63% was “there are not enough charging stations.” Price also appears to be a barrier, and when people who don’t own an EV were asked what would happen if they would buy one, “When the price becomes affordable” was the most common answer at 27%. Additionally, 24% of respondents said they “have no intention of purchasing one,” with Park24 commenting that “we found that approximately one in four people have no intention of purchasing one, regardless of changes in the environment surrounding EVs, such as price and the development of charging infrastructure.” ★12024/09/12 (Thu) 08:08:17.18 ※Previous thread “More than 80% have no intention of purchasing an EV” Survey results reveal!

>>1 The biggest drawback is that it takes a long time to charge. Lack of charging spots when going out. Sometimes it can’t be used when it’s cold. Sometimes it can’t be used when it’s hot. Low mileage. Low value when selling as a used car.
Gasoline vehicles have not evolved at all in the last 30 years. They are just rehashing old technology. Because there is no room for evolution, Japanese manufacturers fabricate fuel efficiency and output data to make it look like they have improved. It is only a matter of time before gasoline vehicles are replaced by the ever-evolving EVs.
>>7 The combustion efficiency is an astonishing 40%. The catalog fuel efficiency easily exceeds 30km. The surplus is converted into horsepower, making it easy to move a heavy vehicle. Shut up, you idiot lol.
In terms of the spread of mobile phones, this was before they were even the size of a lunchbox, so who knows how many more years it will be before the adoption curve starts to rise vertically?
I have a covered garage, I own a house, I have no objections to Nissan, and I have the financial means to buy it even if it’s a bit expensive. If I don’t meet these criteria, I can’t buy it at the moment.
There are a lot of videos on youtube about long distance EVs, but when you run out of charge, you end up in a hellish loop of 30 minutes of charging, driving 100km, 30 minutes of charging, and driving 100km again lol.
Half a century ago, a high-ranking executive at a Japanese automobile company stated that it was impossible for EVs to replace gasoline-powered vehicles. You know those small, lightweight solar calculators that don’t require battery replacement? We need to create the same system for cars. Rather than burning fossil fuels at power plants, transmitting the electricity over power lines and wasting a lot of energy, and then connecting it to cables and spending a long time charging a large, heavy, low-performance battery, it would be faster to burn fuel directly in a car.
>>21 Acceleration exceeds that of gasoline vehicles What’s interesting about the difference in characteristics is that gasoline vehicles usually get better fuel economy on the highway, but the opposite is true for EVs, where the electricity consumption gets worse.
In fact, it seems that fires have occurred even when stored indoors in showrooms and factories. They say there are factors other than cars, but that means the people are creating a managed environment that makes fires frequent.
>>31 I saw the news yesterday about the dry ice shortage caused by the drop in gasoline demand, but it seems like it’s affecting unexpected places too.
Power source used Single-phase AC 200V or 100V Output 3kw or 6kw Charging time (approx. 8 hours to 16 hours) Approx. 900,000 yen Three-phase AC 200V Output 30kw and up Charging time (approx. 30 minutes) Approx. 4.5 million yen Previously, most were three-phase, but is single-phase 200 okay now?
>>46 No one bought a new phone until it got better. The people who used low spec phones were gadget enthusiasts or people who like new things. The point is, everyone just wants to avoid becoming a guinea pig before it becomes widespread.
At this stage, I think a car like the Sakura, which is for short distance travel and doesn’t use more electricity than what you get from charging it overnight, is the right choice.
