A recent study by the British firm Zapmap, specialized in geolocation of chargers for electric vehicles, revealed compelling results about the experience of drivers with electric cars.
The survey, conducted with 3,746 owners in the United Kingdom, reveals that only 3% would consider going back to using a car with internal combustion engine.
This surprisingly low figure indicates a high degree of satisfaction and adaptation to the new mobility standards, challenging traditional perceptions that still attribute doubts to the performance and usability of electric cars.
What do users value?
Owners gave their electric vehicles an average score of 87 out of 100, highlighting:
- Low operating cost
- High energy efficiency
- Reduction in maintenance expenses
- Satisfaction from contributing to the energy transition
The possibility of saving on fuel and operational comfort are positioned as decisive factors when sustaining the choice for this technology.
More than satisfaction: expectations exceeded
Zapmap points out that the user experience not only meets but exceeds expectations:
- Interaction with the charging network is positive
- The self-perception of the electric driver shifts from “consumer” to “agent of change”
- The practical advantages end up strengthening the decision even for those who had initial doubts
“The electrification of mobility is no longer a promise, it is a consolidated preference,” state from Zapmap.
Boost for the market and infrastructure
The study reflects a reality that can accelerate:
- New investments in charging infrastructure
- More accessible business models
- Reformulation of public policies linked to transportation and emissions
The high level of approval provides empirical evidence to support the sustained growth of this market, consolidating the role of the electric vehicle as a solid and widely preferred alternative in urban and suburban contexts.
