EV Public Charging Convenience Survey
Evaluate charger availability, compare payment and access experiences, and navigate reliability, safety, and wait-time trade-offs across public charging networks, so you can strengthen acquisition, sharpen positioning, and improve retention through evidence-led service and channel decisions.
CONTEXT & RELEVANCE
Why run this survey now
Most EV drivers don't lose convenience purely on charger distance. They disengage due to broken units, uncertain availability, payment failures, queue delays, and poor amenities, none of which fully show up in app ratings or uptime dashboards.
If you are...
- Public charging network leaders
- EV charging product teams
- Mobility partnership managers
- Fleet electrification planners

EV Charging Network Preference Benchmarking Across Metro Commuters (India)
Public Charger Subscription Concept Exploration Among Frequent Drivers (India)
EV Charging Network Preference Benchmarking Across Metro Commuters (India)
OBJECTIVE
A pan-India charging operator needed to understand how private EV owners , taxi drivers , and delivery fleets selected among branded networks , fuel-station chargers, and destination chargers across routine urban charging occasions.
WHAT WE DID
We ran a structured survey with 900 users across six metros, capturing awareness , trial, recent usage, station discovery, tariff perception, charger reliability, queue tolerance, payment success, and network consideration by vehicle and charging frequency.
DELIVERED
The study produced a network preference map , consideration funnel , metro-level positioning comparison, driver segment profiles, and prioritized channel levers linking station discovery, tariff communication, reliability proof, and partnership visibility to stated choice.
