Electric Vehicle Battery Surveys

In 2011, Tom Saxton of Plug In America began conducting a series of surveys of electric vehicle owners to better understand battery longevity and owner experience. The surveys were originally hosted on the Plug In America web site, but were moved to a new host in 2024. Despite no longer being hosted by Plug In America, the survey is still operated and maintained by Tom Saxton and continues its commitment to serving the EV community and preserving participant privacy.
