Consumer Decision-Making in
Purchasing or Leasing a Hydrogen Fuel-Cell Vehicle
Hi, we are a
team of researchers from Arizona State University, University of Southern California,
and University of Nevada at Reno. We are currently conducting two studies on
how drivers make the decision whether or not to purchase or lease a hydrogen
fuel-cell vehicle (FCV). In the California study, we would like to interview
drivers who seriously considered purchasing a fuel-cell vehicle, regardless
of whether they eventually did or did not do so. In the Hartford, CT region,
we would like to interview any driver about their preferences among several
hypothetical maps of hydrogen stations. |

California Interviews We have completed our first round of
longer in-person interviews, and are now recruiting California residents to
participate in a second round of shorter interviews via phone, Skype, or
FaceTime. Interviews will take about 20 minutes and will focus on the factors
impacting your vehicle purchasing or leasing decision process. We are
interested in interviewing current or former California drivers who: -
are
over the age of 18 -
have purchased
or leased a fuel-cell vehicle and taken possession of it, or -
seriously
considered purchasing or leasing a fuel-cell vehicle but decided not to. Your participation in this study is
voluntary. The information you provide will remain confidential and be used
for research purposes only. As a token of our appreciation for your time and
cooperation, we are offering a $10 Amazon gift card. If you have any
questions concerning the research study and/or would like to participate,
please contact Dr. Michael Kuby at mikekuby@asu.edu
or PhD student Oscar Lopez at oglopez1@asu.edu. Thank you for your consideration. School of Geographical Sciences and Urban
