During the next year, the University of California Davis will be asking volunteer drivers of BMW’s all-electric MINI Es how they use the cars and how they like them. The answers will be collected in online surveys, during interviews, and collected from information in travel diaries.
UCD, which has a dedicated Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) Research Center, say findings of the year-long study will be made available to the public. The school believes it the results could “influence understanding of the future role of electric vehicles for many stakeholders, including electric utilities, governments and automakers.”
