Tesla has for many years been a leader in electric cars, and one could therefore imagine that the brand would also have the highest level of trust among owners.
According to a new survey which Kvd car have ordered from Sifo, however, it is Volvo that has the highest confidence in its electric cars among Swedes. However, Tesla is not far behind.
The rumor within Tesla – big layoffs on the way
Right at the top for electric cars
The difference is not great. In the survey, 19.8 percent answered that they have the most confidence in Volvo, while Tesla received 18.9 percent.
Daniel Oldsbergsales manager at Kvdbil, believes that the result is due to the fact that Volvo has long been associated with safety, security and reliability in Sweden.
– Volvo has been synonymous with high-quality cars for almost a hundred years. Now many expect them to maintain the same standard also when it comes to electric cars, says Daniel Oldsberg.

Established brands dominate
After the two leaders in terms of trust, there is a fairly large gap to other manufacturers of electric cars.
In a shared third place we find Volkswagen and Toyota with 12 percent, followed by Polestar in fifth place with 10 percent. Polestar is also the only pure electric car brand that doesn’t get a truly lousy rating – perhaps due to its close association with Volvo.
Chinese brands such as BYD, MG and Maxus did not receive a single vote.

Building trust takes time
Daniel Oldsberg believes that the lack of votes for these brands is because they are too young.
– These electric car brands have only been on the Swedish market for a few years, in some cases only one year. It is of course a huge difference to Volvo, a brand that almost all Swedes have a relationship with. Establishing trust takes time, says Daniel Oldsberg.
