Original survey question: "How familiar would you say you are with the fundamentals of owning an electric-only vehicle?"

Data from the original survey was collected mostly through web-based methods, and mostly in English, with 172 interviews being in Spanish. The values presented here represent a subset of participants who answered the question.

Data assigned confidence levels of 95 percent, with +/-1.37 percentage points as a margin of error.

Question is regarding fully electric vehicles, not utilizing other fuel sources.

The source showed the following text on the same screen as the question: "The experience of owning an electric-only vehicle is quite different than owning a gasoline-powered vehicle. Some differences include charging vs. fueling, the frequency of maintenance/repairs, costs involved with buying, owning, and maintaining the vehicle, etc. For this next question we would like to understand your level of familiarity with electric-only vehicles."
