For example, 62% of survey respondents still considered EVs far too expensive, while 54% had concerns over battery life and 57% faced reservations over charging infrastructure. What’s more, while battery efficiency will eventually start to drop, the average EV will lose just 2% of accessible range per year – an arguably minor decline.
