The average age of an electric car owner in Russia has become known

The average age of an electric car owner in Russia is 43 years, which is four years less than that of an owner of a car with an internal combustion engine. This was reported on November 19 by the analytical agency "Avtostat" based on the results of the survey, which was attended by more than 900 owners of electric cars.

The survey showed that the percentage of men among owners of "green" cars is higher than among those who drive conventional cars (74% vs. 67%). Correspondingly, there are fewer women among them (26% vs. 33%).

It also turned out that among owners of electric cars the share of married or married people is higher than among those who prefer conventional cars (90% and 85% respectively).

At the same time it turned out that among owners of cars with internal combustion engines 76% live in urban apartments, while among "electric drivers" the share is only 53%. At once 39% of the latter live in country houses and cottages, among owners of conventional cars there are only 15%.
