Your views on electric vehicles and home energy systems

A survey was conducted in January 2023 which was part of a research project looking into new home energy systems that might benefit residents who drive electric vehicles (EVs) in the future gather insight about the energy behaviours of local residents.

A report on the findings of research is available here and also on the right side of this page (if viewing on laptop) or below (if viewing on a mobile device).

Information about the survey conducted in January 2023

Oxfordshire County Council is part of a research project looking into new home energy systems that might benefit residents who drive electric vehicles (EVs) in the future. We are looking to gather information about the energy behaviours of local residents and to understand how people in Oxfordshire might respond to new home energy and electric vehicle technologies and what might trigger them to be adopted.

This survey was open to all residents, but we were particularly interested in hearing from residents who have - or are thinking of getting - either solar panels, electric vehicles or both.

This survey was part of an externally funded research project that Oxfordshire County Council is working on with Loughborough University and other partners. Your views are important and can inform us on how best to encourage the use of EVs and home energy systems in order to achieve net zero goals, will contribute to the development of new technologies and ultimately will help shape the future of local energy and transport strategies.
