According to the survey, 13% of potential customers said they will opt for an electric vehicle due to lower total cost of ownership while 52% said it will be their contribution towards a cleaner environment.

About 19 per cent said they have had enough of buying fossil fuels and coping with price fluctuations.

A total of 23% of the respondents were women while 77% were men. More than half of them were from the metro and tier-one cities, 37% from tier two cities and 12% were from tier-three cities.
