## Methodology

A recent audience simulation by Minds shows that 72 percent of trade businesses in the DACH region view unreliable charging infrastructure as the biggest hurdle to integrating electric commercial vehicles. These results were validated using official data from the Statistisches Bundesamt and highlight the deep-seated range anxiety in daily commercial operations.

**72**%

Concern over insufficient charging infrastructure

**64**%

Payload and weight conflicts (3.5t limit)

**31**%

Lack of reliable depot charging solutions

Based on a simulated panel of 520 respondents. 85–95% accuracy validated against historical data.

## **Frequently asked questions**

### **How accurate is the Minds audience simulation compared to real panels?**

The Minds platform achieves an average match of 85% to 95% with traditional physical panels regarding preferences, language, and objection mapping. For highly specific questions and well-established segments, the match can even reach up to 100%.

### **How quickly does Minds deliver results for fleet analysis?**

Minds delivers deep, data-driven insights in under 1 hour, instead of the usual multi-week sprints of traditional market research institutes. The entire infrastructure is hosted on EU servers and is 100% GDPR-compliant, as no personal data is processed.

### **How do the costs of Minds compare to traditional panels?**

Simulations with Minds cost only a fraction of a traditional physical panel, as the high recruitment costs per participant are eliminated. You can generate up to 10,000+ responses per simulation without straining your budget for expensive field studies.

### **Which phase of the buyer journey is this e-mobility-cargo study optimized for?**

This study is optimized for the consideration phase (MoFu). It highlights the concrete operational hurdles and integration conflicts of commercial operators to help electric commercial vehicle manufacturers precisely calibrate their marketing and sales arguments.
