I worked at the Tesla store in Boston while I was studying at Boston University, around the same time that the Model 3 was super delayed and reservation holders were pissed, but I talked to a lot of folks who were considering their first EV and it was my job to help them understand day-to-day EV ownership. Owning an EV is different than owning an internal combustion engine vehicle, and for those looking into owning their first EV, it can be intimidating. Here are three important things to consider before owning your first EV. - Logan Carter Read More

Remember when you first watched The Fast And The Furious, and every car in it was the coolest thing you’d ever seen? The bright green of the Eclipse, the targa top Supra, the massive blower of the Charger.
