We hear more and more about electric vehicles every day. We see charging points for them at supermarkets and motorway services. We hear that they are better for the environment than petrol or diesel cars. Government wants us all to drive one soon. Yet today few of us are.

Plug-in Hybrids Electric Vehicles (PHEV) have an electric motor, battery, engine and petrol/diesel tank. The engine takes over if the battery runs down.
We asked participants what they thought of both types of electric cars. Then we analysed the data to produce ‘segments’ of like-minded people.
These segments can help persuade more people to drive electric vehicles by:
