EV Fast-Charging Network Experience Survey
Understand how EV drivers evaluate station availability, compare charging speed and reliability, and navigate payment or support friction, so you can sharpen network positioning, improve conversion, and strengthen repeat usage across priority corridors.
CONTEXT & RELEVANCE
Why run this survey now
Most EV drivers don't abandon charging networks purely on price. They switch due to unreliable uptime, queue uncertainty, incompatible connectors, payment failures, and weak support, none of which fully show up in app ratings or session logs.
If you are...
- Charging network leadership
- Customer experience teams
- Charging product managers
- Network operations leaders

Public Charging App Positioning Among Urban EV Drivers (India)
OBJECTIVE
A pan-India charging platform needed to understand how private EV owners , fleet drivers , and intercity travellers compared its app with vehicle-OEM apps and aggregator apps across discovery, trust, and booking behaviours.
WHAT WE DID
We ran a structured online survey with 820 recent public-charging users, stratified by city tier and vehicle type, capturing app awareness , search behaviour , booking confidence , message recall, switching triggers, and preferred acquisition channels.
DELIVERED
The study produced a competitive preference map , driver segment framework , app consideration funnel, message territories, and channel levers , with clear comparisons by city tier, EV category, charging frequency, and primary journey context.
