    I briefly thought this might go in the 'News' forum but the second paragraph ("Scientists") suggests it is a better fit here:
    Source: They May Not Buy Them But Americans Like EVs | TheDetroitBureau.com

    We might not all be 'Rocket Scientists' but we have friends who are . . . <grins>

    What was the survey question? It sounds a little like UCS got 65% of responders to say the answer they wanted to hear.

    Haven't read the article yet but I just love surveys people say they will "consider" something (e.g. a hybrid or EV) but err... actions speak louder than words.

    From the press release at 40% of American households could easily drive EVs without changing habits
    From November 2013 Dashboard - HybridCars.com, the plug-in take rate for November 2013 in the US was only 0.71% and that includes a bunch of PHEVs (e.g. Volt, PiP, Ford's Energis, etc.)

    • Would you consider losing weight in 2014?
    • Would you try to exercise more in 2014?

    OH. EV Attitude study. I saw "EV Altitude Study" and was mighty curious as to what that would be about. It's a bummer when your curiosity, however misplaced, is left unfulfilled.
