The basics (and more) of EVs
From a distance, there are few distinctions between a gas-powered car and electric vehicle when you’re out on the road. But look closer – the plug-in port, the lack of an open grill, the quiet ride – and EVs come into focus.
Since EVs first made a splash in the 1990s (and in the late 1890s, before that), more models have come on the market with new features, range, technical wizardry and styles.
What do you need to know?
There's plenty to learn about EVs, but starting with the basics is important. Consider factors like affordability, charge versus range, winter driving, performance, and EV ownership's hidden costs or benefits. These can help you decide if an EV is right for you.
