Part 2 of Ethnographic Decision Tree (after determining FCV is feasible)
Ethnographic Decision Tree Model (FCV Feasibility) - top half of Part 1only)
Deviations required to reach stations FCV adopters intended to use (by their subjective station rank)
Distribution of travel times to primary stations FCV adopters were intending to use
number of stations FCV adopters intended to use
How CA drivers changed stations after some experience with FCV
Trade areas of primary stations FCV drivers intended to use when purchasing or leasing FCV
Travel time from home vs detour to station in minutes for primary H2 stations new FCV adopters intended to use
