New year, new research from Stonehaven - this time looking at the take up of electric vehicles and what stands in the way of speeding it up. Another great report from my colleague Michael Dnes. TLDR: it’s the cost, stupid. But more specially it’s inequities re charging points. “While generation one of EV policy proved electric vehicles could work, it made no systematic effort to deal with the situations where take-up was harder… The challenge for policymakers has changed. It is no longer a matter of making the first electric cars succeed. Instead it is about making the average car electric, in a way that is simple and persuasive to average households.” To find out more about our research into policy and public opinion on EVs, please get in touch!

Really interesting research. Part of the reason I chose to get an electric car was because I moved into a house with a charging point - not sure I'd have done so otherwise
