Abstract

Barriers to purchasing a fully electric vehicle were studied using an online survey aimed at car users located in the Helsinki region in Finland. Opinions on the significance of various barriers were asked from car users who had answered that they would not purchase a fully electric vehicle as their next car. The three barriers that would most affect their decision-making were the high purchase price of an electric vehicle, insufficient operating range on a single charge, and too few charging points in Finland outside the Helsinki and Uusimaa region. The results suggest that the desirability of a fully electric vehicle is affected not only by the availability of charging at home, or in the region where the car user lives, but also in other parts of the country where the user lives.
