Question Title

* 2. What is your town of residence?

Question Title

* 3. How much total in the way of federal and state incentives (tax credits and/or rebates) are available to buyers of electric vehicles in MA or CT to reduce the net consumer cost of the vehicle?

$5000 or less

$5000 to $7000

up to $9,000 or more, depending upon state

None of the above

Question Title

* 4. What is the minimum replacement warranty protection from failure for every new plug-in electric vehicle battery?

3 years/36,000 miles

6 years/75,000 miles

8 years/100,000 miles

11 years/125,000 miles

Question Title

* 5. True or False: An electric vehicle can be charged from an existing standard home outlet with the included adapter, and by doing this overnight, provides enough average daily electric only range for most drivers.

True

False

Question Title

* 6. Charging an electric vehicle costs less per mile on average than driving a gasoline car, equivalent to paying approximately how much per gallon?

Less than $0.50 per gallon equivalent

Less than $1.50 per gallon equivalent

Over $2.00 per gallon equivalent

Question Title

* 7. A type of vehicle that can drive all electric for 25 to 114 miles on electric power only then switch to gasoline backup for longer trips of 150-400+ miles is called:

BEV (Battery Electric Vehicle)

HEV (Hybrid Electric Vehicle)

PHEV (Plug in Hybrid Electric Vehicle)

Question Title

* 8. Fast charge/DC Quick Charge is a type of public EV charging that can typically return a car’s battery to at least 50% of its total range in how long?

5 minutes or less

30 minutes or less

1 to 2 hours

Question Title

* 9. Choose the best answer or answers that describe a ZEV (Zero Emission Vehicle):

Produces zero tailpipe emissions in at least one mode of operation.

Includes plug in electric vehicles charged from the grid

Results in zero net emissions when charged from the grid, as a well-to-wheels or life cycle measure.

Significantly reduce emissions and reduces oil (petroleum) consumption.

Question Title

* 10. Charging from a home Level 2 unit (240 volt, “dryer” type plug, etc. - recommended for BEVs being used as primary vehicles) or public Level 2 charge spot adds how around many miles of range per hour of charging?

3 to 6 miles per hour

10 to 70 miles per hour

Over 100 miles per hour

Question Title

* 11. Which of the following is NOT true about plug in electric vehicles?

They have instant torque and quick acceleration

They ride quiet and typically handle and ride better due to low center of gravity

They require less average maintenance cost and time due to fewer moving parts

They typically cost more to own total over 5 years than comparable gasoline only vehicles.

Question Title

* 12. What features do some plug-in electric vehicles typically have that make them work well in cold weather and snowy climates?

Heated seats that keep the occupants warm and use very little energy

Thermal management that warms the battery, and can even warm it while plugged in.

Low center of gravity and high torque resulting in good traction.

Many plug in hybrid electric vehicles can use the engine to produce additional heat in extreme cold.

Question Title

* 13. Contact information

Email Address (required) *

Phone Number

Question Title

* 14. As an EV Advisor / EV Ambassador, I would be willing to:

Provide 1-on-1 help and support to EV interested residents in a brand-agnostic way

Volunteer to display my vehicle and/or talk to the public at EVents

Participate in an EV Action committee meeting on a regular basis (monthly, quarterly, etc.)

Other (please specify)
