Their methodology is, shall we say, open to interpretations.
- mytailorisrich 2y agoThanks! "16 to 24 years old: 41.59% own an EV" Hmm, that's odd. My own experience (living in a wealthy area in the South East) is that pretty much 0 young drivers own an EV: It's usually a cheap, old (petrol) banger because insurance is so expensive (and EVs are expensive, too!). Also, in the UK one can only get a full driving license (and drive on their own) at 18. Personally, I call BS on this number.
- dagw 2y agoMy only possible explanation for the numbers is that a lot of people in that group defined 'owned' as "my parents own one and I sometimes get to drive it"
