This is more dramatically achieved with full electric vehicles, but hybrids still have their place, especially ones which can run on electric-only power for short journeys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With all this in mind, Stoneacre Motor Group set out to identify drivers\u2019 perceptions regarding hybrid vehicles, specifically their purchasing opinions and usage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">So, what did we find?<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When considering their time frame to purchase a hybrid vehicle, <strong>over two-thirds of participants suggested they would contemplate buying a hybrid in under 3 years, <\/strong>signifying that drivers could be willing to adopt a hybrid driving style first before they progress to full electric.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In terms of <strong>body types<\/strong>, survey responses indicated that the <strong>most popular choice of a hybrid car<\/strong> would be an <strong>SUV (48%)<\/strong> and a <strong>hatchback (35%)<\/strong>, compared to saloons (7.6%), estates (8.4%) or coupe\/sports cars (1.4%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stoneacre.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/self-charging-car.jpg\" alt=\"popular hybrid choice suv and hatchback\" class=\"wp-image-11929\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, a substantial <strong>71% of respondents<\/strong> specified their choice of a hybrid vehicle would purchase a <strong>self-charging variant<\/strong>, which could suggest there is a complexity regarding PHEVs or even that <strong>85% of those surveyed did not believe the UK\u2019s charging infrastructure was ready for the influx of electrified vehicles.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, research has shown there are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zap-map.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\"><strong>32,663 public charge points<\/strong> available across<\/a> the UK \u2013 of which <strong>6,018 are rapid EV chargers<\/strong> &#8211; whilst the UK government has promised that improvements to the infrastructure are progressing to meet the deadline before the end of the decade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mark Zavagno, Digital Operations Director for Stoneacre Motor Group, <\/strong>insists that the automotive retail sector should further educate drivers regarding hybrid cars in order to cater for what looks to be an upward trend of customer purchases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Zavagno stated: <strong><em>\u201cit would seem that consumers are trying to adapt their driving to electric, however, deterred by the thought of opting for a plug-in hybrid. As an automotive retailer, we have an obligation to inform and assist drivers with the new trend of electric vehicle sales, therefore it would be beneficial to push educational resources for those looking to make a change<\/em><\/strong>\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, <strong>43% of participants<\/strong> in the survey stated they would only be <strong>willing to spend<\/strong> between <strong>\u00a310,000 to \u00a320,000 on a new hybrid<\/strong> <strong>car. <\/strong>The average price for a new hybrid exceeds the price bracket, therefore consumers could be discouraged to adopt hybrid driving if the price ranges are above their expectations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This should not deter drivers to opt for hybrid vehicles, as we offer a wide range of prices to suit your budget. Make sure to take a look!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-1 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\" style=\"padding-top:10px;padding-bottom:10px\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-icon__arrow-right\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-base-color has-green-1-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.stoneacre.co.uk\/electric-and-hybrid-cars\/hybrids\">Hybrid Range<span class=\"wp-block-button__link-icon\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg viewBox='0 0 16 11' xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'><polygon points='0 4.7 13.1180124 4.7 9.44099379 1 10.4347826 0 16 5.5 10.4347826 11 9.44099379 10 13.1180124 6.3 0 6.3'><\/polygon><\/svg><\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">*Research conducted on 500 people surveyed in July 2022 by Stoneacre Motor Group<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stoneacre.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Key-Facts-We-Found.jpg\" alt=\"hybrid survey statistics\" class=\"wp-image-11928\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>About Stoneacre Motor Group:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Originally founded in 1994, Stoneacre Motor Group is a family-owned business that has progressively grown to become one of the UK\u2019s top automotive retailers.
