Hi all,
My name is Cian Harrington, and I am researching barriers to electrificaitons of road transport, and potential solutions to overcome such barriers. I am based in Cranfield university in the UK.
My initial work is addressing user/owner issues such as purchase cost, operating cost and residual value.
I have simple questions and I would be delighted with any feedback on this.
1. did you buy or lease your Leaf?
2. what is your average daily distance?
3. do you have ease of access to charging facilities
a. at home? (yes/no)
b. at work (yes/no)
c. other local public access (yes/no)
4. do you consider yourself an early adopter?
5. which do you think would encourage more conservative buyers to purchase a Leaf
a. purchase chassis of vehicle but lease the battery
b. Nissan certificaiton of semi-used battery before resale
c. buy-back of battery (by nissan or third party) at end of battery life
6. when do you feel the battery has reached its useable life (resulting in reduced range)
a. 80% after 5 years
b. 70% after 10 years
I hope you can help on this.
the main aim of my work is to seek ways to grow the EV and P-HEV market by minimising user/owner risk
Thanks for your time
Cian
