EV PR agency

The upswing in EV vehicle adoption has in part been thanks to advancements in technology, government incentives and policy, but also a seismic shift in public attitudes towards EVs and demand for more sustainable transportation options. 

However, there is some way to go before the UK meets its targets for EV adoption.

Electric vehicles are the future of driving

The UK government has taken historic steps towards net-zero with the introduction of a ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel cars by 2030. This has resulted in an increase in EV car interest, which has been propelled by the growth in electric batteries, improvements in EV charging and overall infrastructure development. 

With the industry in growth and companies vying for market share and informing customers about their products and services - as well as educating the public on EV-related issues -  a clear PR strategy is essential for gaining share of voice and credibility.

PR challenges facing EV companies

The PR challenges that EV companies face are unique as they involve turning public perception from the “traditional” mode of transport to the newer, albeit greener, electric vehicle. People tend to trust what they know, so it is important to educate the public with the EV industry stil a fairly new player to the benefits of switching from petrol and diesel to electric.

A great PR strategy can help to minimse drivers’ concerns about running out of power while driving and address any misconceptions they might have about safety and reliability and availability of electric vehicles and infrastructure en route.

Despite advances in EV battery technology, public perception is still limited about how EV technologies work. They may still be reticent about investment in an electric vehicle, but key PR messaging around the your company’s services, products and initiatives in the EV market, will help them to geel more comfortable and confident about switching.
