German Drivers Warm to EVs
Electric cars impress when driving
21 Aug 2025
A nationwide survey by ADAC Autoversicherung found that 81% of drivers who have tried an electric vehicle (EV) enjoyed the experience. Key reasons for the growing interest in EVs include a wider vehicle selection (76%) and improved battery performance (61%). However, only 31% of non-EV drivers plan to stay loyal to their current car brand when switching to electric, while 58% would keep their current insurer. Battery protection is a top concern, with 72% valuing insurance coverage for the EV battery. Additionally, 86% say a test drive is essential before buying an EV, and most want it to include the charging process.
