Auto Execs: Plug-In Hybrids Will Soar, Pure EVs Decline

摘要

AUTOMOTIVE EXECUTIVES foresee a big future for plug-in hybrids over the next five years, but are less bullish on the future of pure EVs, a new study says. Asked to name the "electric vehicle technology that will attract the most consumer demand" in a KPMG International survey (http://bit.ly/Wg-kLnf), 36 percent of auto execs chose plug-in hybrids, while only 11 percent cited battery-electric vehicles (BEVs). The results reflected a sharp change over the past year, with plug-in hybrids rising by 15 percentage points while BEVs dropped by five during that time.
