Renting an EV Before Purchasing Gave Me a Boost of Confidence in My Car Choice

I am among the 96% of drivers who will never want to go back to a gas vehicle, a sentiment found in a recent survey by the Fully Charged Show. To embrace sustainable living, your next vehicle might be an EV. Here are a few facts first-time buyers should keep in mind:

If you think you'll need to visit charging stations three times more often than gas stations, that’s not true—especially if you have a home charger installed by a licensed electrician. Overnight charging is incredibly convenient, saving you trips to the gas station altogether.

Even charging at public stations has proven more convenient than expected. With a fast charger, 15 minutes is usually all you need, enough time to use the bathroom, grab a snack, check your email, and then continue on your drive. A full charge can take 30 minutes depending on your vehicle. During my weekly 260-mile round-trip commutes, I find it relaxing to sit at the station, listen to music or an audiobook, and catch up with friends.

Only plan........
