To combat the impacts of climate change and fossil fuel use, Morocco is exploring sustainable practices such as electric vehicles (EVs). Our project, sponsored by the International University of Rabat, developed a survey using two theories to predict consumer behavior. It will help identify the barriers to EV adoption. To test its effectiveness and make refinements before distribution to the Rabat-Salé-Kénitra (RSK) region, we conducted a pilot study and used social listening to gauge public opinions. With this data, we trialed analysis techniques and solidified topics of focus for the RSK survey. We concluded that we needed to slightly adjust survey format, content, and analysis. We then provided detailed next steps for the study, including recommendations on distribution and analysis.
