According to the latest findings from the European Alternative Fuels Observatory (EAFO), the typical BEV driver is predominantly male, highlighting a significant gender gap in electric vehicle ownership. This Euronews debate will explore why women are less likely to buy electric vehicles and what can be done to shift the narrative, with a focus on consumer concerns such as vehicle affordability and practicality.
Through expert panels featuring industry leaders and policymakers, we will examine the deeper issues influencing EV adoption across different demographics. Discussions will tackle the barriers faced by women, from marketing campaigns that overlook them to economic concerns that prioritize higher-income households, and ponder on how to work towards creating a more inclusive and accessible path to sustainable mobility for all.
Register your interest below and join this crucial conversation about the gender disparities in Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) adoption across Europe.
