The California Center for Sustainable Energy (CCSE) and the California Air Resources Board, in support of the Clean Vehicle Rebate Project, have released the results of the largest plug-in electric vehicle (PEV) owner survey taken in California.
Highlights:
89% of owners use their PEV as their primary car, driving an average of 800 electric-fueled miles per month.
In San Diego, favorable utility rates result in PEV owners paying equivalent to $0.90 to $1.90 per gallon of gasoline to power their electric vehicles.
Because California uses no oil to generate electricity, the current electric vehicles in the state save approximately 350,000 gallons of petroleum every month, decreasing imports and reducing the overall demand for oil.
Roughly two-thirds of vehicle charging takes place in off-peak hours (8:00 p.m. to 8:00 a.m.).
39% of the state's PEV owners have also invested in home solar energy systems, helping to power their vehicles with renewable energy and further reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
In addition to charging at home, 71% of PEV owners report having access to either public or workplace charging or both.
