Supplementary notes from the survey:

Totals do not add up to 100 percent as respondents selected ALL that applied
The survey measured Americans’ knowledge and experiences with electric-only vehicles, their likelihood of getting one, and their perceptions about barriers preventing and incentives that would encourage them to get a battery-only electric vehicle.
The survey also assessed Americans’ awareness about low carbon fuel usage in vehicles and aviation.
The interviews were conducted both in English and Spanish and were administered both online and by phone.
The margin of error for results based on the total sample is +/-1.59 percentage points at the 95% confidence level.
