Thank you for participating in our survey!
Now that you have taken part in the plug-in electric vehicle event, we would like to ask you about
your views of plug-in electric vehicles.
Your feedback can help with future efforts and is extremely valuable.
This data is being collected to assist the U.S. DOE Clean Cities program in facilitating the integration of alternative fueled vehicles and fueling infrastructure
technologies. The data you supply will be used to facilitate technology integration in the alternative vehicles sector. DOE can provide technical assistance to
various sectors of the private and public vehicle sectors, and similarly, DOE can learn about effective strategies for integration of PEVs technologies.
Public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 30 minutes per response, including the time for reviewing instructions,
searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information. Send comments
