“…Descriptive statistics were produced to provide context for the logistic regression results. To establish more appropriate baselines of comparison than census population data ( 28 – 30 ), “market majority” characteristics were created for New York new-vehicle buyers using data from the 2017 National Household Travel Survey (NHTS) ( 31 ). New-vehicle buyers were identified based on a “within-100-mi” match between their vehicle’s odometer reading and their estimated number of miles driven while owning their vehicle.…”

To meet aggressive transportation-electrification goals, electric-vehicle (EV) sales must expand beyond enthusiastic early adopters and deeper into mainstream markets. To support that expansion, this research examined a strategic market segment that points the way: EV adopters who had little to no interest in adopting an EV when they started looking for a new car—or “EV Converts.” It utilized survey responses from 5,216 recipients of New York State’s Drive Clean Rebate, separately examining consumers of plug-in hybrid EVs, Teslas, and non-Tesla battery EVs. Weighted descriptive statistics and logistic regressions were used to identify factors that predict EV Convert status, and dominance analysis was used to rank factors for prioritization. The results were combined into summary profiles for each vehicle category, summarizing their current characteristics and describing top opportunities for reinforcing each segment. Across categories, high-ranking factors associated with increased odds of being an EV Convert included giving relatively less importance to societal factors like energy independence or environmental impacts, lack of consumer awareness of the rebate before the first dealership visit, the essentiality of the rebate to the EV purchase/lease, having no plans to install solar, giving no importance to the desire for the newest technology, and/or identifying as female. Significant factors were ranked and compared across vehicle categories. Recommendations for program design, outreach, and dealer education are provided.

The Big Orange STEM Saturday (BOSS) at the University of Tennessee (UT) Libraries is an innovative and interactive educational program. This program focuses on creating pathways to college for underrepresented high school students by introducing them to the possibilities of careers in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). At its core, BOSS is a highly collaborative event that relies heavily on developing strong partnerships and collaborations between the UT Libraries, local high schools, and programs for underrepresented high school students. This chapter presents a case study of the BOSS program with both the natural and intentional partnerships that the UT Libraries developed and sought over the last eight years. It also showcases recommended practices for developing community partnerships and questions for other academic libraries and librarians to ask themselves when considering community partnerships and collaborations.
