More Than 2,000 EV Drivers From 28 Countries Tell Us What They Desire & Require — CleanTechnica’s 2nd EV Report!
June 5th, 2017 | by Zach
CleanTechnica surveyed more than 2,000 electric car drivers in 26 European countries, 49 of 50 US states, and 9 Canadian provinces to find out what early electric car adopters require and desire from their next electric cars and from EV charging networks. Basically, we asked questions we were very eager to see answers to
23–50% Of Current EV Drivers Plan To Buy A Tesla Model 3 Next (CleanTechnica Report)
June 5th, 2017 | by Zach
With over 100,000 reservations logged in under 24 hours — before the car was even unveiled — it doesn’t take six polls to uncover which electric car tops the list of “expected next EV model.” Nonetheless, the Tesla Model 3 didn’t single-handedly account for the majority of answers for that question, and seeing the precise “future car” split according to 6 six very different EV-driving groups is fascinating
Why EV Early Adopters Went Electric, + The Best Things About Driving Electric
June 5th, 2017 | by Zach
Last week, we published CleanTechnica's new, 93-page electric car and driver report. For the report, we surveyed over 2,000 electric car drivers living in 28 countries (26 European countries, 49 of 50 US states, and 9 Canadian provinces). Generally speaking, we wanted to find out what early electric car adopters require and desire from their next electric cars and from EV charging networks, as well as what EV life is like so far for them
EV Drivers Want Electric SUVs/CUVs, Midsized Cars, More Choices In Models (CleanTechnica Report)
June 5th, 2017 | by Zach
One of the challenges of the current EV market is extreme lack of choice. There are only a few widely available models, and even if you look in the most popular markets (California, Norway, etc.), EV models only account for a small percentage of all the vehicle classes. We were curious which classes were most desired for future EV purchases and again polled respondents on this topic (simply in regards to size and style, not taking into account price)
Tesla’s Model 3 Versus Audi’s A3, A4, A5, & S3 Models
June 2nd, 2017 | by Zach
Even that title looks like a looming disaster for Audi. It's like when Lionel Messi takes on several opponents at once as if that would make it fair ... but then humiliates them all.
Electric Car Charging: Convenience, Reliability, Accessibility, & Future Needs (CleanTechnica EV Driver Report)
May 31st, 2017 | by Zach
It was with a great degree of curiosity that we explored EV charging experiences and needs by type of EV and region for our latest EV report. What's the story for Tesla drivers, non-Tesla fully electric car drivers, and plug-in hybrid drivers? What's the story for Americans vs Europeans? We already covered the desire and demand for fast charging and superfast charging in a previous section, but we dive much more into other charging matters here.

These Are The Features That Electric Car Drivers Demand & Desire (CleanTechnica Report)
May 29th, 2017 | by Zach
One of the more interesting things for me in our annual EV surveys is how much people want various special features — auto lane change, all-wheel drive, superfast charging, fast charging, etc. The extra fun in our new 93-page electric car driver report is that we got these responses segmented by type of EV and region.

Current EV Drivers Weigh In On Electric Car Range Requirements (CleanTechnica Report)
May 23rd, 2017 | by Zach
How much range do people need? Various studies have jumped into this topic, but I don't recall seeing anyone survey electric car drivers themselves. So, in our new 93-page electric car driver report, we asked different types of EV drivers across two continents what their range requirements and expectations were for their next EVs
How To Communicate Electric Transport To “Outsiders” Effectively: rEVolution Summit Presentation
