Audi inside – the podcast: “German Angst” about electric cars?
For presenter Brigitte Theile, there are far too few electric cars on the road in the land of poets, thinkers, and car manufacturers. But why? Is the resistance among Germans greater than elsewhere in Europe? The podcast host asks psychologist Professor Dr. Claus-Christian Carbon from the University of Bamberg, who researches reservations about e-mobility. He knows how these reservations arise and what both industry and politics can do to make electric cars more attractive. In this episode of Audi inside, the expert also reveals whether Germans are truly "scaredy-cats," what reactions the electric vehicle debate can trigger among combustion engine enthusiasts, and when "German range anxiety" sets in behind the wheel.
