Electrifying Times Questionnaire:
Electrifying Times is trying to get some idea about the nature and reasons you are interested in alternate energy
vehicles, specifically electric and hybrid vehicles by accessing our website.
1. Are you interested in purchasing an EV or HEV and want to keep
informed on where you can get information on converting
your car to electric? YES
NO
2. Are you concerned about the deterioration of the air quality, global warming, and gridlock? (too damn many
internal combustion vehicles spewing noxious fumes at you while stalled in gridlock, and you
doing the same to the vehicle behind you?)
YES
NO
HAVEN'T THOUGHT ABOUT IT
3. Are you concerned about the balance of payments deficit resulting from the import of
foreign oil?
YES
NO
4. Are you interested in saving money? The cost of gas is about $.07/mi while EV's cost about
$.03/mi? YES
NO 5. The idea of EV's and HEV's and fuel cell vehicles
(FEV's) sounds nice and environmentally friendly. I believe that's about it
as far as my involvement is concerned.
YES
NO
6. I would consider being a leader in the
community setting an example by purchasing an EV or HEV. Or converting my
car to electric, or purchasing a vapor carburetor which will
give me 100 mpg and near zero emissions. I would not wait until higher gas prices or
environmental disasters force me to consider alternative fuel technology.
YES
NO
7. What additional type of information would you like to see on our website or magazine?
8. I will not change my driving habits or try mass transit until some
national emergency such as war or oil embargo lead to significantly higher gas
prices ($2.00-2.50/gal).
YES
NO
9. I believe EV's are only practical for commuter vehicles at present
and I cannot afford to purchase an EV
or HEV just for commuting.
YES
NO
10. I just like to lurk or browse the Internet and that's about it.
YES
NO
11. I am a technical person and want to keep informed on new technology developments.
YES
NO
12. I am interested in where I can get parts to build my own EV.
YES
NO
13. The U.S. being the earth's No.1 emitter of greenhouse gases
(1.3 billion metric tons/year) might be a reason
for me to consider a cleaner way of transportation.
YES
NO
14. State your own reason for lurking! And if you care to give some background information
about yourself and where you reside, please do so. Don't forget to include your email
address if you wish a reply. Thank you for your time and have a good day.
