Cross-Industry Partnerships Increase Consumer Likelihood for BEV Purchase Consideration
EV intenders are more likely to consider purchasing a BEV when the automaker has a partnership with a charging or technology brand, according to Escalent’s latest EVForward study findings.
BEV purchase consideration would increase by an average of 29% if a preferred automaker partnered with one of the top five public charging brands, and 22% if it partnered with one of the top five technology brands.
“With charging being a key concern for consumers, if an OEM were to partner with a charging network, many of those concerns may dwindle and result in an improved charging experience,” said K.C. Boyce, Automotive & Mobility and Energy vice president at Escalent.
