How do you track consumer sentiment shifts in the EV market?

Beyond surveys, I've had good results combining social listening tools like Brandwatch or Sprout Social to track organic conversation shifts with search trend analysis via Google Trends (terms like 'EV range anxiety' vs 'EV charging near me' tell a real story). We also layer in review mining from forums like Reddit r/electricvehicles and dealership review sites to catch hesitation language before it shows up in survey data. The combo gives you leading indicators rather than lagging ones.
