Attitudes and Beliefs towards EVs in Denmark and The Netherlands

This work researches the current opinion towards and knowledge about Electric Vehicles (EVs) among the Danish and Dutch population. Two nation-wide surveys were conducted to identify the misconceptions, concerns and benefits about EVs experienced by the target group. Results show that perceived knowledge levels on EVs in both countries are relatively high, although women seem to have a lower perceived knowledge level. Furthermore, there seems to be mostly still a neutral or negative attitude towards EVs and their capabilities. Danish respondents on average have more extreme opinions, both negative and positive while the Netherlands has the largest neutral group.
