I'm really interested in buying an EV, and feel the time is right to move away from the traditional ICE we have all been used to..
Having looked into various Brands etc. I feel overwhelmed with the level of detail, and would really appreciate some guidance from EV owners, to understand what are the factors to actually consider when deciding which EV to buy & live with on a day-to-day basis.
My initial thoughts are:
Any guidance/ advice from EV owners would really help me making my decision
Thanks
Having looked into various Brands etc. I feel overwhelmed with the level of detail, and would really appreciate some guidance from EV owners, to understand what are the factors to actually consider when deciding which EV to buy & live with on a day-to-day basis.
My initial thoughts are:
- Why did you choose to buy an EV? What was the main reason for switching, as there seems to be conflicting news stories around whether they are better than ICE cars?
- Overall cost vs ICE - is there any way to get a true comparison, as often the price to buy EV is greater than ICE counterpart, however fuel savings must make for interesting comparison. Do you end up with a better overall deal buying an EV?
- Range of EV - how have you managed to deal with range anxiety? Is it easy to find and access chargers when you're out and about?
- Dealerships - what was the experience like in Dealerships? Were staff able to answer these types of questions, or am I better doing the research online myself?
- Safety - do you have any safety concerns when using the electric charger? Did the sales person explain how to use the charger or are you left to find out yourself?
- Home charger - how do you know what the best home charger is? Are they actually any that are better than others?
Any guidance/ advice from EV owners would really help me making my decision
Thanks
