Electric Vehicle Road Trip Study

Researchers at Utah State University are looking for adults who own, drive, and/or use electric vehicles (EVs) to participate in a research study about experiences and perceptions of using EVs for recreational road trips. Specifically, we are interested in learning about the experiences, perceptions, barriers, and opportunities for using EVs to make road trips to recreational areas (such as national parks, state parks, national forests, etc.) and for recreational activities (such as camping, hiking, boating, fishing, skiing, etc.).

You are invited to complete a 15-minute online survey about your EV information, experiences using an EV for a recreational road trip, perceptions of those experiences and other aspects of EVs, and socio-demographic characteristics. To participate in this study, you must be an adult (age 18+) and have experience using an EV on road trips to recreational areas and for recreational activities.

The study is closed and we are no longer accepting responses. This survey was open March - June, 2022.

If you complete the entire survey, you will be offered the chance to enter a drawing to win one of ten $100 Amazon e-gift cards.
