The analysis commissioned by Facile.it and MiaCar.it to the mUp Research and Norstat institutes
The attention of Italians towards green vehicles is growing: according to the survey commissioned by Facile.it and MiaCar.it to the mUp Research and Norstat institutes, almost 7 out of 10 motorists would buy an electric or hybrid car (67.7%). More specifically, 45.1% would opt for a hybrid, while 22.6% would opt for an electric one.
According to the survey, carried out on a representative sample of the national population, the most likely to buy these cars are young people aged between 18 and 24 (79.6%) and motorists residing in the North West regions (69.9%).
If we look instead at the sample of those who are against it (11%), it emerges that the percentage is higher among men (13.5%), respondents aged between 35 and 44 years (13.6%) and residents in the North East (13.4%). Still many undecided; more than 1 in 5 motorists (21.3%).
The motivations
Analyzing the motivations of the more than 23 million Italian motorists willing to buy an electric or hybrid vehicle, it emerges that 74.8% would do so to personally contribute to the reduction of pollution, a percentage that even reaches 82.9% among under 25. Many, 45.1%, would choose a green car to save on fuel, while 19.8% to have fewer traffic restrictions being able, for example, to access the Ztl areas as allowed in some cities of Italy. Finally, among the most common reasons for buying a vehicle with low environmental impact, indicated by almost 1 in 3 motorists, there is the fear that diesel and petrol cars will soon no longer be able to circulate.
The investigation then investigated the reasons why more than 11 million Italian motorists have declared themselves against, or in any case still have many doubts, about the purchase of electric and hybrid vehicles. The biggest obstacle turns out to be the price (68.1%); 43% said they did not want to buy an electric / hybrid car due to the low number of recharging points on the Italian territory, while 40% said they did not want to buy an electric / hybrid car due to the low range.
