Hi all TMC Members;
My name is Derek Oppedisano and I'm a Master's student studying at the University of British Columbia in Clean Energy Engineering. For one of our research projects, me and two classmates are looking at renewable energy infrastructure within North America, to eventually provide some recommendations on policy and or potential solutions to simplify uptake of systems and technology (such as EVs).
In the interest of science I would open up a VERY quick questionnaire, that I'd like to ask you all:
1. When did you buy your Tesla?
2. Did you immediately (within 3 months) install a Level 2 or 3 charging station? (indicate yes/no, and charging type)
3. How much did your charging station cost? (including everything)
4. Scale from 1 to 10, how difficult was the process? 1 being easy, 10 being nearly impossible.
5. Would you invest in a solar array to offset the electricity you consume? If so, what would a "reasonable" cost be for you? (USD)
6. Please add any comments about the process to own an EV that you think I might find interesting/surprising (specific instances of difficulties, or improvements in your local policies or governance etc.)
NOTE: I will keep all of your information confidential and will not be disclosing this in any public way. Your data will be used solely to gather preliminary understandings of real customer values and opinions. Though it should be known that the general findings of this data may be used for future research and/or papers.
Your help is greatly appreciated. Thank you so much for helping and taking a couple minutes to answer
I included a little brochure that we've been handing out here in Vancouver if you are interested in contacting me directly.
