MPs to ask the public about electric cars

The Transport Committee wants to know what matters to drivers when they switch to EVs – and has launched an online survey.

A cross-party group of MPs has launched a survey to determine what is important to motorists when purchasing an electric car.

It forms part of an inquiry by the Transport Committee looking into zero-emission vehicles and road pricing, including the infrastructure that will be needed to make the transition to zero-emission vehicles viable.

The survey could also guide the government with finding ways to replace the income lost from fuel and excise duty, such as the introduction of road pricing.

It includes questions on issues such as finance, charge points and electric car range, plus there’s also an opportunity to submit a question about electric vehicles to the Department for Transport.

The Committee will choose questions to put directly to the minister during the final evidence session of the inquiry.

The survey will run until 2 June 2021 and can be found here.
