Study: Leasing drives interest in electric cars

According to a current survey by mobile.de, the gasoline engine remains the first choice for buyers who finance their vehicle or pay in cash. 63 percent of financiers and 50 percent of cash buyers prefer combustion engines, while among those interested in leasing, 45 percent are considering an electric car and 41 percent are considering a plug-in hybrid. Leasing is particularly valued for its flexibility and ease of vehicle change.
Financiers, on the other hand, value predictable installments and the ability to purchase more expensive vehicles through monthly payments. In addition, over 70 percent of financiers and cash buyers choose used cars, while leasing users more often choose new cars. For most people interested in leasing, a rate of 200 to 400 euros is affordable (43 percent). From 400 euros onwards, the willingness decreases: at least 22 percent would be comfortable with 400 to 600 euros, at 600 to 800 euros the figure is only seven percent.
