Introducing the EV Gender Gap

Welcome to a special series of Frontiers! The team were shocked to discover a significant gap in the uptake of EVs amongst women in the UK. So hosts Iona Morton and Sam Munson from The Upside set off on a mission to discover why this is.  In this launch episode, they sit down with Niku, Founder of The Upside, a Sia company, to reveal the surprising findings from their groundbreaking research.  Sam and Iona share insights gathered from in-depth interviews with women drivers across the UK, from an EV convert in Edinburgh to a meticulous researcher in Kent. They uncover two core reasons for the significant sales gap – a perceived mismatch of EV capabilities & women’s lifestyles, compounded by a deficit of trust amongst this group.   Tune in to understand the complex barriers to EV adoption and learn what the automotive industry can do to bridge this gap.
