About this event
EV Infrastructure News will host the UK’s EV charging industry for a webinar about consumer trust and engagement.
The disconnect between charging infrastructure availability and public perception is one of the industry's biggest challenges.
Looking at the misconceptions propagated by mainstream media, the EV sector faces a public that does not trust in its benefits. How are CPOs engaging with sceptical consumers? Is it possible to engage with drivers who aren’t already considering an EV?
When potential customers hold misconceptions about charging times, network reliability, or cost-effectiveness, these beliefs directly impact infrastructure utilisation rates and revenue streams. By identifying the specific myths that prevent adoption, CPOs can develop targeted communication strategies that address real barriers rather than perceived ones.
This webinar aims to facilitate conversation about the best way to boost consumer buy-in, target new customers and beat misinformation through evidence-based strategies that turn sceptics into customers and customers into advocates.
