Questionnaire about New Electric Vehicle Battery Cooling Technology

My team of engineers is researching new cooling methods for electric vehicle batteries. This questionnaire will give us a sense of what people are looking for in EV battery thermal management and whether or not they would be willing to accept some tradeoffs for better battery cooling.

Question Title

* 1. What are your main concerns about electric vehicles?

Higher purchase cost

Limited driving range

Lack of charging infrastructure

Long charging times

Battery life and replacement cost

All apply to me

Question Title

* 2. If you were to own an EV or if you already own one, would you have anxiety about whether you will make it to your destination on the battery charge you have?

Yes, I do.

No, I do not.

I don't really think about it.

Question Title

* 3. Would you or do you have battery health anxiety about the battery in your EV?

Yes, I worry about my battery degrading.

No, I do not worry about my battery degrading.

I think about it sometimes, but it doesn't bother me.

Question Title

* 4. If a new battery cooling technology arose that would increase range on a single charge and regulate the battery temperature more efficiently, would you be willing to pay more money for it?

Yes, I would.

No, I wouldn't

I'm not sure.

Question Title

* 5. Have you ever had reduced performance due to battery overheating?

Yes, it has in the past.

No, it hasn't

This question doesn't apply to me.

Question Title

* 6. If you own an EV or are looking to buy one, would you mind if there was a little extra general noise as a tradeoff to better battery performance?

Yes, that would bother me.

No, that wouldn't bother me.

I'm not sure.
