In examining the data, researchers found that on average households are similar in their long-distance travel, but all travel is shifted to the gasoline vehicles in Leaf households. A unique feature of this research is the ability to gather infrequent long distance trips which have a bearing on purchase behavior and infrastructure need. This enables comparisons within the household and across models. Monitors are placed in participants’ Plug-in vehicles for a year, along with their gasoline vehicles. There are currently 6 models being monitored, the Plug-in Prius, Ford C-max Energi and Fusion Energi, Chevrolet Volt, Nissan Leaf, BMW i3 REx, and Tesla Model S. Researchers continued work on this on-going project to study real-world PEV use in the context of total household travel behavior through the use of surveys, data loggers, and interviews.
