Electric Vehicle Ownership Experience Survey (2W & 4W)
Understand how two-wheeler and four-wheeler EV owners evaluate purchase value, compare charging options, and navigate daily usage, so you can sharpen acquisition, refine pricing, and strengthen retention across priority ownership segments.
CONTEXT & RELEVANCE
Why run this survey now
Most EV brands don't lose owner loyalty purely on range. They underperform due to charging uncertainty, service inconsistency, battery concerns, software friction, and unclear resale value, none of which fully show up in sales data or complaint logs.
If you are...
- EV manufacturer strategy leaders
- Customer experience teams
- Dealer network heads
- Charging ecosystem partners

Public Charging Subscription Proposition Testing Across Commuter Segments (India)
OBJECTIVE
A pan-India charging network needed to understand how daily electric scooter commuters , delivery riders , and electric car owners compared prepaid charging bundles, roaming access, and pay-per-use plans before selecting a subscription proposition.
WHAT WE DID
We ran a structured online survey with 900 respondents across eight cities, measuring bundle appeal , price sensitivity , station coverage expectations, charging frequency, payment preference, and switching likelihood across two-wheeler and four-wheeler cohorts.
DELIVERED
The study delivered a subscription preference map , pricing corridor , segment-level bundle rankings, message territories, and channel levers, with clear distinctions between frequent commuters, occasional users, fleet-linked riders, and public-charging dependent car owners.
