Concerns expressed by used electric vehicle owners based on surveying social media
通过社交媒体调查二手电动汽车车主，发现他们最担心价格、电池性能和公共充电站可用性，且低收入者更关注价格和充电站。
The used EV market is growing as more EVs penetrate the market. To examine who is purchasing used EVs and what concerns they may have, we deployed a survey focused on owners of used EVs. Data was collected online via posting the survey to used-EV-related Facebook and Reddit communities. The survey was deployed from September to October 2022, and a total of 1,669 participants responded, of which 1,167 were usable responses. Most respondents are male, middle-aged, white, well-educated, and with higher incomes. Prior to buying a used EV, respondents were most concerned about pricing, battery performance, and the availability of public charging stations. We estimate logistic regression models and find that those with lower incomes were more concerned about the prices and the availability of public charging stations.
