HOUSEHOLD MARKET FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLES. TESTING THE HYBRID HOUSEHOLD HYPOTHESIS: A REFLEXIVELY DESIGNED SURVEY OF NEW CAR BUYING, MULTI-VEHICLE CALIFORNIA HOUSEHOLDS

This survey was sponsored by the Air Resources Board in order to assist the Board in its evaluation of the zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) regulation. The survey was designed to test the consumer marketability of electric vehicles (EVs). A total of 454 households in six California metropolitan areas were surveyed. The survey consisted of four main parts: 1) assessment of household demographics, the number and type of household vehicles, and environmental attitudes; 2) travel diaries to determine household travel patterns; 3) informational video and news articles on EVs, and 4) vehicle purchase offerings and choices.
