Take a Survey to help understand decision-making when purchasing a vehicle

Through this survey, we can better understand decision-making when purchasing a vehicle and perceptions of different charging options for electric vehicles. You must be at least 18 years old to participate in this research study. The survey will take about 10 minutes to complete.
If you own an electric vehicle (not a hybrid), please take the EV survey:
