The Erosion of Brand Loyalty – Why is it happening?
- 45% of European consumers see brand reputation as the most important factor in their decision on which new car to buy.
- Over a quarter (28%) are more likely to buy an Electric Vehicle (EV) from a new or unfamiliar brand compared to a petrol or
- diesel vehicle from a new or unfamiliar brand.
- This erosion of brand loyalty is caused by substantially lower consumer awareness
- for EV models compared to Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) models.
