Recharging the Debate: Are EVs Just for Rich Men?

When:

Wednesday, November 6, 2024

Time:

5:00 PM CET

Where:

#FutureDriven Experience, Brussels

New data shows that the typical electric vehicle driver is a rich man, highlighting a gender and wealth gap in electric vehicle ownership. This Euronews debate will explore this trend 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 to EV adoption, and ponder how to work towards creating a more inclusive and accessible path to sustainable mobility for all.
