Supplementary notes

Original survey question: "If you were to change your car or buy one for the first time, would it be…

  • a hybrid vehicle
  • a petrol/diesel vehicle
  • an electric vehicle
  • I would substitute my car with public transport or a bike
  • I don't have a vehicle now and do not plan to buy one
  • Don't know"
Results include 243 respondents in the 15 to 29 years old group, 559 respondents in the 30 to 64 years old group, and 198 respondents in the 65 years old and over group.

Values have been rounded, so the results might not add up to 100 percent.
