Norway: consumer perception of the barriers to BEV acquisition 2021
Range anxiety was the leading reason for consumers in Norway to not purchase a battery-electric vehicle. Nineteen percent of respondents to an April 2021 survey cited it as the main barrier to BEV acquisition, above electric cars not being more environmentally friendly. Concerns about BEV's driving range were also the leading consumer concerns in the United States. However, Norwegian participants did not have the same consideration for the lack of charging infrastructure than U.S. or global respondents.
