I've now received three "Research Studies" because we have a LEAF. I just want to alert people that these all aren't Nissan seeking your opinion of the car. In one of them I researched the website of the company authoring the survey to find that they had just received some award from Ford. In another one the survey was so bad I couldn't fill it out if I had wanted to. The first question was whether the car was a manual transmission or an automatic with a paddle shifter, etc. The second question was how many miles per gallon does the car get. I emailed to the contact for that and told them to get serious, there were no boxes I could check. Also, one of them was not just asking for what I thought about the car but "How much did you pay for the car?", "How much did you get for your trade-in?", "How much to you earn?" and other personal questions. Because in each case you are entered into a drawing for prize money, these surveys are not confidential. They know who you are when they receive the survey.
Just a word of caution. I'm all for improving the EVs coming out. I'm not particularly enthusiastic about divulging a lot of personal information and this smells a little bit of corporate espionage by the competition. Just so you realize that the survey may not be used as you thought it would.
