In your area, what is the average time it takes for an electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) owner or site manager to complete the permitting, installation and, if applicable, inspection process?	Less than 1 day	1	1 to 2 days	0.8	2 days to 1 week	0.5	> 1 week	0.1			I don't know	0	2	0.8	1.6

Weighting at Question Level

Examples of topic areas and sections are weighed at the question level.

For example, in the Application Process Section:

Question #1:

Example of a question with each answer weighed differently based on how fast the process takes. Less time = better score. So, the less time a consumer has to spend dealing with installation of EVSE, the less concern/hesitation they’ll have to work it into their busy life.  Notice the weight of this question is double that of the other two questions because speed of permitting and inspection is a very important factor in PEV readiness.

Question #2:

Example of  a question where multiple answers may be selected, each with different weights and adding to a cumulative score.

Question #3:

Example of a question where multiple answers add to a cumulative score, but each answer (type of permit application, in this case) have the same weight because they are equally important.

In this section you can score a maximum of 4 points. The way the questions are answered resulted in a score of 3.1, which translates into a score of “Great Job”.
