Half of Irish drivers willing to make the move to electric or hybrid car, survey shows

Almost two-thirds of those asked said they would buy or had bought an e-vehicle due to its pro-environment qualities.

More than half of drivers intend to make the move to a hybrid or electric car when they next buy a new vehicle.

New research published by online sales website Carzone shows Ireland remains deeply car-dependent, despite the ongoing climate crisis, with 81% of people relying on their car as their primary form of transport ahead of public transport, walking, or cycling.
