Done. Happy to help. Got my wife to do one too, for our Volt.

(edit) Oops, no, my mistake. The survey linked in this thread is an EV survey. Since it points to a Google doc which may or may not be associated with Morgan State University I went to their web site and "found" the survey from there. That survey is the one I commented on below. The survey linked in this thread looks identical to the one you can reach from the university web site, which probably means that it is genuine but just might mean that someone copied it. I wouldn't worry about filling the survey, but would be cautious about giving any sensitive information or following any links to download any content.

(earlier I wrote...)

The survey preface says this which rules out the great majority of potential respondents:

Survey participants must be at least 18 years old and own/lease a vehicle registered in the State of Maryland.

And this which rules out just about everyone else on this forum:

The vehicle should be equipped with: a gas/diesel engine

I don't see anything about Maryland. :?:

Me either, I saw this:

Electric Vehicle Owners’ Survey

Morgan State University’s National Transportation Center would like to learn, through this five-minute online survey, about EV owners’ purchasing decisions, commuting and preferred vehicle safety technologies.

Survey participants must be at least 18 years old and own/lease a plug-in hybrid or plug-in battery electric vehicle. The electric vehicle should be equipped with: a steering wheel and pedals, bucket or bench seats, and carry 2 or more people. Participation in this survey is voluntary, and there is no risk associated with participation. You are free to discontinue the online survey at any time.

All information submitted in the survey will be anonymous and confidential. Only the National Transportation Center will collect the survey responses, aggregate the data and analyze results. The individual survey responses will not be shared with the MVA, other state agencies, insurance companies or other private organizations.

Done.

BTW, one of your questions references "220V". That standard was changed in North America many decades ago. The standard voltage in North America is currently 240V + or - 5%, which is a range of 228V to 252V. As you can see, 220V is not included in that range.

"Yeah...220, 221. Whatever it takes"

Been there done it .

 

[redLEAF]

done --- a bit better than most of this nature ... interesting questions on use of rail transport; now if I needed to go into the city from the 'burbs of Chicago that would be a different story --- 'burb to 'burb has never had the same option; rail would still be my choice and is when I have meetings. etc. downtown and because the station is only a few miles away from home an EV still makes some sense; monthly rail passes may be less than running your ICE into downtown but pretty much any EV (if you can put up with the daily grid lock) would be cheaper still but parking rates; public charging stations, etc. may eliminate a fair amount of the savings; never a simple solution for everybody.

Hello,

We would like to thank all the people who have taken the time to answer our survey. We appreciate your support and have also improved our survey based on some of your comments. If you would like to know more about our study, feel free to visit http://www.matsutc.org/mode-choice-between-electric-vehicles-and-rail-transit-for-commute-trips/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Due to the high number of responses, we have been able to expand our research from state level to national level.

If you have not taken our survey yet, please do so. Your opinion matters to us.

Sincerely,

The National Transportation Center @ Morgan State University

Does the primary driver charge the EV mostly at home or at work?

I do both, it must be charged at each end, pity there isn't an option for "both"

Education: Trades/Technical there doesn't seem to be any where for that

just a few spots you can refine better.

+1. Many of us with a degraded early car pack must do that now.

Done! Love my leaf, even though I expect a new battery by summers end.
