Wiyosaya · May 22, 2007

Of the more than 3,000 consumers asked if they would consider buying a "grid-connected hybrid," the term used for plug-in hybrids in the survey, only 24 percent said that they would, according to the survey by Synovate Motoresearch.

Perhaps we should start a "I want my PHEV" campaign.

Thanks to this site.

I'll join your campaign.

If you follow the article's link to Synovate Motoresearch, they surveyed only people in Asia

In the first syndicated study of its kind, Synovate Motoresearch surveyed more than 3,000 consumers who presently own a new vehicle or intend to purchase one in the next year in China, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Taiwan and Thailand to determine their familiarity with alternative fuel technologies, their perceptions of alternative fuel vehicles and their likely purchasing behaviour.

Technology Review didn't mention that little detail at all.
