Thanks for your feedback. The company that runs the survey is not a non-profit; however, the EV industry is certainly not what foots our bills. We provide data intelligence and analysis to automotive and energy companies, both relating to electric vehicles and other aspects of their businesses.
With that said, we were asked to survey EV drivers, enthusiasts and consumers not interested in EVs to help the industry better understand why some people and areas of the country are adopting, and why others are not. We will provide a FREE topline report of our findings on EVIX.com at the conclusion of the survey for anyone to download.
Some auto OEMs and utilities have asked us to do much more in-depth analysis, and they will be paying us for the time and resources it takes to do that analysis.
We certainly did not mean to offend anyone in this forum by asking for your participation, but rather thought that EV owners would like to contribute to the conversation shaping things like product planning and infrastructure development.
Feel free to take down our request for participation if you feel this forum is not the right place for our request. Thank you.
