Abashayeli abangaphezu kwesigamu baseBrithani bathi izindleko ezincishisiwe zikaphethiloli wemoto kagesi (EV) zingabalinga ukuthi bashintshe kuphethroli noma udizili.Lokhu kuvele ocwaningweni olusha olwenziwe ngabakwa-AA abangaphezu kuka-13 000 abashayeli bezimoto, oluphinde lwathola ukuthi abashayeli abaningi bagqugquzelwa yisifiso sokusindisa umhlaba.
Ucwaningo lwe-AA luveze ukuthi u-54% wabaphendulile uzoba nentshisekelo yokuthenga imoto esebenza ngogesi ukuze konge imali kuphethiloli, kanti abayisithupha kwabayishumi (62%) bathi bazogqugquzelwa yisifiso sabo sokunciphisa isikhutha nokusiza imvelo.Cishe ingxenye yesithathu yaleyo mibuzo iphinde yathi izogqugquzelwa yikhono lokugwema i-Congestion Charge eLondon nezinye izinhlelo ezifanayo.
Ezinye izizathu eziphezulu zokwenza ushintsho zihlanganisa ukungafuni ukuvakashela egalaji likaphethiloli (okukhulunywe ngamaphesenti angama-26 abaphendulile) kanye nokupaka mahhala (okucashunwe ngamaphesenti angu-17).Nokho abashayeli babengenantshisekelo kangako kuma-number plate aluhlaza atholakalayo ezimotweni zikagesi, njengoba amaphesenti amabili nje abaphendulile aveze lokho njengento engaba yisisusa sokuthenga imoto esebenza ngebhethri.Futhi iphesenti elilodwa nje laligqugquzelwa isimo esicatshangwayo esiza nemoto kagesi.
Abashayeli abasebasha abaneminyaka engu-18-24 kungenzeka ukuthi bagqugquzelwe ukwehliswa kwezindleko zikaphethiloli - izibalo i-AA ethi ingase yehle ukuze inciphise imali etholwa abashayeli abasebasha.Abashayeli abasebasha nabo kungenzeka ukuthi badonswe ubuchwepheshe, ngamaphesenti angama-25 bethi i-EV izobahlinzeka ngobuchwepheshe obusha, uma kuqhathaniswa namaphesenti ayi-10 kuphela abaphendulile bebonke.
Kodwa-ke, amaphesenti angu-22 kubo bonke abaphendulile athi ababoni "inzuzo" yokuthenga imoto kagesi, nabashayeli besilisa okungenzeka bacabange ngaleyo ndlela kunozakwabo besifazane.Cishe ingxenye yesine (amaphesenti angu-24) yamadoda athi akukho nzuzo yokushayela imoto kagesi, kuyilapho amaphesenti angu-17 kuphela abesifazane asho into efanayo.
Isikhulu se-AA, uMnuz Jakob Pfaudler, sithe lezi zindaba zisho ukuthi abashayeli abagcini nje ngokuthanda izimoto ezisebenza ngogesi ngenxa yezithombe.
“Nakuba kunezizathu eziningi ezinhle zokufuna i-EV, kuhle ukubona ukuthi ‘ukusiza imvelo’ kungaphezu kwesihlahla,” usho kanje.“Abashayeli abayona into eshintshashintshayo futhi abayifuni i-EV njenge-status symbol ngenxa nje yokuthi inenumber plate eluhlaza, kodwa bafuna ibe nezizathu ezinhle zezemvelo nezezimali – ukusiza imvelo kodwa nokunciphisa izindleko zokuyiqhuba.Silindele ukuthi amanani entengo kaphethiloli akhona azokhuphula intshisekelo yabashayeli ekusebenziseni ugesi.”
