Low Cost EV Charging Options for Long Duration Parking

This survey is for plug-in electric vehicle (PEV) owners, which includes the drivers of both battery-electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles. Energetics Incorporated (www.energetics.com) is doing a study with the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority to identify hardware, installation, and operational options to reduce the cost of putting charging stations at long-duration parking (>8 hours) locations. The project will document best practices to accelerate charging station installations that benefit site hosts and PEV drivers. This survey will capture PEV driver needs and requirements for using charging stations at long-duration parking locations to guide the project. Thank you for your interest and participation.
