Consumers and Alternative Fuels 2017

This report is based upon an annual consumer survey exploring the attributes most important to consumers when buying a new vehicle, including the importance of alternative powertrains such as electric and diesel powered vehicles. The report analyzes survey results in terms of fuel prices and vehicle sales to better understand consumer choice and the relationship between what consumers say they might do and what they do in actuality. The survey data itself is a strong indication of where consumer behavior may trend in the future, despite actual recorded behavior at dealership sales lots.
