To utilize a PHEV，受访者必须满足以下三项要求:

• 有停车位和插座，因为phev需要充电通道. 56% of U.S. households have access to charging.
• 5 or fewer occupants (including driver), 因为今天大多数插电式混合动力车型都是4或5人乘用车. 95% of U.S. households report 5 or fewer occupants in their cars.
• 没有牵引或牵引的需要，因为今天的插电式混合动力车不适合牵引. 79% of U.S. drivers don’t need to tow.

To utilize a BEV, respondents had to meet three additional requirements:

• Drive a maximum of 60 or fewer miles on weekdays. 今天大多数纯电动汽车的行驶里程在60到90英里之间. 69% of U.S. 驾驶员在此范围内有安全的517888九五至尊娱乐日范围要求.
• Own more than one vehicle or infrequently take long trips. 第二辆车可以在度假和旅行时行驶更长的距离. 65% of U.S. households have more than one vehicle.
