EAFO Consumer Monitor & Survey 2024: A call to action

As part of the European Alternative Fuels Observatory (EAFO), POLIS is thrilled to announce the official launch of preparations for the EAFO Consumer Monitor & Survey 2024.

Following the success of the 2023 edition, which became the largest EV survey in Europe, we are now setting the stage for an even more impactful 2024 survey. This initiative comes at a crucial moment for the electric vehicle (EV) market, where shifting dynamics and a temporary slowdown in sales make it vital to capture consumer voices.


Why this matters 

With ZE sales facing challenges across Europe, understanding consumer sentiment is more important than ever. In these uncertain times, hearing directly from EV drivers and potential EV adopters will provide valuable insights into the future of electric mobility, as well as support decision-making and capacity-building from public authorities at all levels of governance. The 2024 Consumer Monitor offers a unique opportunity for governments, industry stakeholders, and companies to make informed decisions based on the latest data from across Europe.


Contributing countries & exclusive benefits

For the 2024 Consumer Monitor & Survey, only countries that provide financial support will be included, making it essential for interested parties to step forward. Public authorities are prioritized per country, a joint sponsorship is also possible. In return for their contributions, participating partners will enjoy exclusive benefits, including:

  • Early Access to Consumer Data: Gain priority access to country data, one month ahead of public release, enabling timely insights for strategic decisions.
  • Exclusive Publication Rights: Participants will have exclusive rights to publish their country-specific results, tailoring the information to their audiences.
  • Editable Data Format: Access to consumer data in an editable format to ensure flexibility in analysis and reporting.
  • Comprehensive Country Reports: Detailed reports in both English and local languages, providing a thorough understanding of consumer behaviours in each participating country.

Why partner now?

Joining the EAFO Consumer Monitor & Survey 2024 provides unparalleled value. The cost of participation is far lower than running independent surveys, and much of the overhead is managed through the EAFO project. Moreover, by participating, organizations gain access to high-quality data and contribute to shaping the European mobility landscape in an increasingly turbulent market.

EAFO is calling on public authorities, companies, and organizations across Europe to join this initiative. With your help, we can ensure that the voice of EV consumers is heard loud and clear, providing the critical data needed to guide the future of electric mobility.


Accessing the EAFO Consumer Monitor and Survey 2023

The reports are available for download on our website. We encourage everyone—policymakers, industry stakeholders, researchers, and the general public—to make use of this information to help shape a sustainable and carbon-neutral future. Your insights and participation are critical to the successful development of electric mobility in the EU, and we appreciate your continued interest and support in this initiative.
