The major aims of this study are to analyze and summarize the results of a 1994 national telephone survey of consumer vehicle preferences and attitudes toward alternative-fuel vehicles. Findings were:

• 77% of all consumers were concerned about outdoor air pollution in their areas
• 48% of all consumers considered themselves to be environmentalists
• 85% of all consumers had heard of alternative-fuel vehicles
• 62% of all consumers felt that electricity was a safer vehicle fuel than gasoline
• Only slightly over one-third of all consumers were willing to give up trunk or cargo space in order to operate an alternative-fuel vehicle that would not pollute as much as their current vehicle
