What should I look for when buying an EV?

Key factors to consider when choosing an EV:

  • Range — how far do you typically drive in a day? Choose a vehicle with EPA range comfortably above your daily needs
  • Charging access — do you have home charging? What public network does the vehicle support?
  • Charging speed — how fast does it accept DC fast charging? Important for road trips
  • Cargo space and seating — match the vehicle class to your needs
  • Warranty — check the battery warranty specifically (typically 8 years/100,000 miles)
