Hi There,

I am Caroline, a Ph.D. student at UC Berkeley. For the past 3 years I have researched optimization methods to charge/discharge Electric vehicles and integrate them safely in the distribution grid.

For a class project I need to interview EV drivers to understand how you ‘actually’ charge your EV, and how we could help drivers through smart-charging methods.  
Please take 1 minute to answer this short survey:

> **[Electric Vehicle Survey](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScYI-qY7dXl-ALKlEPxVvzCu0e8BbubaCVXq-Xb7_hHT9f1uA/viewform?c=0&amp;w=1&amp;usp=send_form)**
>
> We are a team of 4 students at UC Berkeley, doing a class project on EV charging. This survey takes less than 1min to fill. Thank you for your time!

(And let me know if you are interested in seeing the results)  
Thanks!!!  
Caroline

Several students ask our members for their input from time to time. Some of the members participate.

In the past none of the students published their findings on the Forum upon completion of their project. Please take the opportunity to be the first.

Hi !  
I will post the results, it’s already quite interesting .  
Also, let me know if you have any advice to reach EV drivers online.

Thank you all for your help!
