Housing Type by PEV Ownership
This visualization compares the housing types of plug-in electric vehicle (PEV) owners and non-plug-in electric vehicle (non-PEV) owners from the California Vehicle Survey (CVS), as well as with American Community Survey (ACS) data, a statewide demographic profile conducted annually by the U.S. Census, to show how representative these responses are of the overall households in California. The CVS data show that 79 percent of PEV owners live in unattached single family houses, whereas the ACS shows that 58 percent of households statewide live in unattached single family homes, an important distinction, as these households have a greater ability to install charging equipment.
