3. If you plan to purchase a Plug-in Hybrid or Electric Vehicle, when do you think you would make the purchase? 
Taken together, respondents who plan to purchase a Plug-in Hybrid or Electric Vehicle any time in the next 5 years comprise 56% of all responses, while those who do not plan to purchase such a vehicle, or are unsure, make up 32% of respondents. The remaining 13% who chose ‘other’ largely suggest they may purchase a Plug-in Hybrid or Electric Vehicle at some point, but they are looking to get several more years out of their current vehicle (in most cases a Toyota Prius). When filtered to show just the 105 respondents (86%) who have experience owning a hybrid, the results are essentially the same: 3% plan to purchase a hybrid ‘sometime in the next year’, 18% indicate ‘1-2 years from now’, 35% responded ‘3-5 years from now’, 14% ‘do not plan on purchasing a Plug-in Hybrid or Electric Vehicle’ and 13% chose ‘other’. 4. Are you currently on a waiting list to purchase a Plug-in Hybrid or Electric Vehicle? 
The overwhelming majority of respondents report they are not currently on a waiting list to purchase a Plug-in Hybrid or Electric Vehicle. However, 3% of respondents do report being on a waiting list (which corresponds closely to the 4% from the previous question who plan to purchase an electric vehicle ‘sometime in the next year’); 4% indicate they would like to be on a waiting list in order to purchase one. 5. Which of the following benefits of Plug-in Hybrids and Electric Vehicles are most important to you? (please rank in order of importance) 
Question 5 asked respondents to rank the 5 categories above in order of importance -with 1 being most important (blue in graph). The table above shows how respondents prioritized these benefits. As you can see, ‘reduce pollution and personal contribution to climate change’ received the most 1’s (blue) and the second highest number of 2’s (red) and is clearly the benefit that resonates most with respondents. Close behind this sentiment, the answer choice ‘reduce fossil fuel consumption and reliance on foreign oil’ received slightly higher scores than ‘reduce personal fuel costs’ (while ‘reduce personal fuel costs’ generated more 1’s, ‘reduce fossil fuel consumption and reliance on foreign oil’ was more likely to be selected as the 2nd and 3rd most important priority and therefore ranks second overall). ‘Experience the new technology’ and ‘other’ received modest scores and rank 4th and 5th respectively. These results suggest that respondents are more attracted to Plug-in Hybrids and Electric Vehicles for their environmental benefits rather than just reducing personal fuel costs. This feeling is also underscored by some of the comments in the ‘other’ category, such as: “Set a good example for next generation,” and “Reduce unnecessary consumption of fuel.” Directory: wp-content -> uploads -> 2011 2011 -> Voices of the Old Sea Norman Lewis 2011 -> Malevil Robert Merle 2011 -> The Elephant Keeper’s Children Peter Hoeg 2011 -> Jv packet •Mars Colonization Affirmative •Mars Colonization Negative 2011 -> Registration Form (Rev. 8-86) omb no. 1024-0018 2011 -> All America Looks Up to Virginia;” Virginia and the Declaration of Independence 2011 -> Rao bulletin 2011 -> Christopher Columbus was born between 25 August and 31 October 1451 in 2011 -> The Battle of Frenchtown (1855), Washington Territory: the Political and Demographic Context rev 9/4/11 2011 -> Seti aff •seti neg •Asteroids Aff Download 0.53 Mb.
