Consumers’ True Level of Satisfaction with Their EVs

Every time I encounter an EV driver in a relaxed setting, suppose I spot someone walking to or from his vehicle in a parking lot, I ask, “Say, how do you like your car?” I have at least a few hundred of these one-question surveys under my belt at this point.

At the expense of your integrity, of course.
