Researchers in Canada and the US found that there was a 23% increase in demand for PEVs when buyers of conventional cars were offered a green electricity program together with an electric vehicle. The survey also revealed that when choosing PEVs or hybrid vehicles, car buyers are not motivated by climate change but by issues closer to home.
