As EVs become more popular, more drivers new to electric cars are enquiring about details such as boot space and how easy it is to get their labradoodle into the car. This is according to experts at The Electric Car Scheme, who answer these questions daily when helping people make the switch to EVs, dispelling the myth that EVs aren’t suitable for dog owners.

The Electric Car Scheme CEO and Co-Founder Thom Groot commented:

“As a nation of dog lovers, it’s no surprise that choosing an EV is as much about the comfort of our canine companions as any other specification. One of the most common questions we receive on a daily basis from customers is whether or not a certain model is suitable for dogs. As a dog and electric car owner myself, I can assure drivers that they can be just as practical as a traditional car and, in some cases, more so!

“As the price of EVs comes down, with cheaper options from traditional manufacturers, new Chinese alternatives and the used EV market, more people will be thinking about these practical concerns. For the past few years, cost has been by far the biggest consideration, our research shows that for 68% cost is the single biggest barrier to getting an EV, but these sorts of questions show that this could be on the cusp of changing.”
