(Yicai) Oct. 30 -- Some 99 percent of Chinese battery electric vehicle users are willing to purchase a new electric car in the future, according to the findings of a new survey.

In comparison, only 88 percent of global BEV owners consider buying another one, according to a survey with 12,000 respondents from across the world conducted in the second quarter of this year by consultancy Roland Berger. The figure stood at 92 percent in the Middle East and North Africa, 88 percent in the Americas, 87 percent in the Asia-Pacific region excluding China, and 84 percent in Europe.

The percentage in China reflects the extensive policy support provided by the government for the electrification of cars, a mature EV ecosystem led by domestic industry giants, and a local culture that is highly enthusiastic about technology-driven mobility, the report noted.

In addition, China leads the world by EV adoption, while such autos' sales accounted for 49 percent of the total last year, up from 36 percent in 2023, the report said. The global share of such sales rose to 25 percent from 20 percent, with that in Europe remaining unchanged at 25 percent, while that in the US climbed to 11 percent from 9 percent.

China has defended its top spot as the world's fastest-growing EV market thanks to the continuous increase in the number of models and the rapid construction of charging stations nationwide, according to the report.

Less than 40 percent of BEV users surveyed in China expressed dissatisfaction with the construction speed of local public charging stations, thanks to the strong support from the Chinese government for the construction of such infrastructure, especially fast-charging piles.

China's charging stations market is dominated by Teld, StarCharge, YKC, State Grid Corporation of China, and Xiaoju Charge, which combined control around 70 percent of the country's public charging stations, the report pointed out.

As the European Union eases regulations on fuel vehicle emissions, EV adoption in some markets will be slightly lower than previously predicted over the next two to three years, according to the report. However, the electrification of cars will remain an inevitable trend in the long term.
