Motorists across the UK are being asked to take part in a new survey on electric vehicles (EVs), giving them the chance to shape the future of road transport.
EVA England has launched its annual Summer Survey, which aims to capture a detailed picture of both the opportunities and challenges surrounding EV ownership and adoption. Participants will also be entered into a prize draw, with five chances to win £100 worth of Octopus Electroverse charging credits.
Unlike previous years, the 2025 survey isn’t limited to current EV owners. Hybrid drivers, petrol and diesel motorists considering the switch, as well as those who believe EVs aren’t yet suitable for their needs, are all encouraged to respond.
The results will be used to inform policymakers, industry stakeholders and the public, supporting efforts to expand charging infrastructure and make electric vehicles more affordable and accessible.
The survey comes at a pivotal time for the UK’s transition to net zero. According to the Climate Change Committee’s latest report to Parliament, EV uptake remains strong, with more than one in five new cars sold now fully electric and new public charge points being installed at a rate of roughly one every 30 minutes.
However, challenges remain — particularly for the 40% of households without driveways, who are unable to install home charging. In a previous EVA England study, 44% of EV drivers said lack of access to private charging was the biggest barrier preventing more people from making the switch.
By inviting views from all drivers, including those yet to adopt EVs, EVA England hopes to uncover the most significant concerns and explore what would make electric driving more appealing.
Vicky Edmonds, chief executive of EVA England, said:
“We’re strongly encouraging all drivers – whether they drive electric, hybrid, petrol or diesel – to take a few moments to tell us what they feel is and isn’t working for them when it comes to electric cars and their supporting infrastructure. These surveys really matter. They help give a voice to drivers and a chance to have their say on some of the important and lasting decisions being made right now for the future of our roads and electric infrastructure.”
The survey is open until Sunday 14 September and should take no more than five minutes to complete.
