More than one in two electric drivers in ten years?

The share of electric cars has stagnated in France since the start of the year. The conversion bonus will no longer be next year and the bonus is likely to be reduced, probably from €4,000 to €3,000. It is difficult in these conditions to hope for a surge in electric sales, even if less expensive models that previously appeared (Citroën E-C3, Hyundai Inster, Renault 5 Urban Autonomy, etc.).

Only, the electric vehicle market differs depending on the market and good progress is expected on a global scale. According to Accenture, 57% of motorists will drive EVs in 2035. They investigated in the United States, Italy, Germany, France, Japan and China.

Contrary to what one might believe, only 11% of Americans responded that they would never buy an EV. Better yet, 54% say they are in favor to own one in the next ten years, and 23% within five years.

Motivated Chinese

Europeans are less optimistic and enthusiastic about electric propulsion since only 37% of Germans et 36% of French people are ready to take the plunge. We must also put into perspective that the German government decided at the end of 2023 to cut financial aid. Plug-in hybrids and electrics have therefore declined (- 68.8% for EVs in August 2024).

On the other hand, electricity is going well in China with encouraging prospects for the sector. It’s simple, 65% of Chinese drivers believe that electric propulsion is the future. By 2030, 44% will consider investing in an EV.
