Hi, I’m from Suncoast High Schools class of 2024. If you could, would you please take a moment to fill out this survey for my AP capstone project. This survey will take around 5 minutes and all data is collected anonymously.

    Done!

    I have some comments/notes if you’re interested (if not no worries).

    • You may want to get more granular on length of ownership. I just bought my Bolt to replace my previous vehicle and due to that all my answers on maintenance, fuel costs, etc. are very off. Additionally, someone with a large repair/maintenance bill in year 1 of ownership is different from year 2, 3, etc.
    • You may want to inquire about model year and whether the person purchased used or new
    • You may want to collect (basic) geographic information. Someone spending $50k on a car in Wyoming is different from $50k in California. For a similar reason you may want to ask about household income.

    Done, good luck. The dollar ranges for monthly charging/fueling costs are too low. You should change the question to weekly.

    FYI you’ll have one response with a low purchase price and high repair cost. This was technically a voluntary battery upgrade.

    Your survey question for how much people spend on fuel/electricity per month tops out at $60 which is a little low, especially for people who drive a lot and live in a state with high fuel prices like California.

      Can confirm, was paying $180 to $300 per month for gas in CA. $60 is about what I pay for electricity to charge my EV6 in a normal month with no long trips.

    Please state US dollars, not just $.

    Your fuel/charging cost has a very weird scale. Last year I was using some $250 US dollars each month for fuel, and I wasn’t even travelling anywhere, just juicing up a classic car. I invite you to ditch the scale and make it an open question: “Could you give an estimate on your fuel/charging cost per month?”

      It’s high school, they’ll probably have a one-slide histogram automatically populated by Google sheets. With disparate values like that they’d have to box plot it or something and it isn’t as neat.
