Parks Associates: Purchase Intentions among Consumers Who Do Not Own or Plan to Purchase an Electric Vehicle

The research firm will highlight its consumer EV research during the industry webinar, "Eliminating EV Barriers: Future Proofing the Experience," hosted on Thursday, September 8, in cooperation with Particle.io. Currently, only 6% of US households own an electric vehicle today, but 19% of US internet households are likely to purchase an EV in the next year.

"EV momentum is real, and so is the opportunity for utilities and connected home players," said Elizabeth Parks, President and CMO, Parks Associates. "Major auto OEMs have committed to a conversion to fully electrified fleets across the next 10 years, so the EV revolution has already begun. The next few years represent a challenging but critical time for players in energy and connected technology industries to determine how the rise of EVs will impact their industries and to ensure their solutions will be part of the new reality."

"The electrification of mobility in recent years has been 'that hum in the distance,' the sound of the concept of mobility changing - for the better and it's now all getting very real," said Paddy Gogin, Enterprise Sales, International - Smart Energy, Particle. "By 2035 the largest automotive markets will be electric and the opportunity to transform the way we move fundamentally results from changes in three main areas: Regulation, Consumer Behavior, and Technology. All three factors will play significant roles in how we shape that future and define who the winners and losers will be."

Webinar speakers will discuss the current EV market and the opportunities and challenges as demand for charging solutions accelerates. Areas of focus include consumer adoption of and familiarity with EVs, purchase drivers and inhibitors, use of charging stations, and how consumer perceptions of charging station availability impacts adoption and usage.
