When it comes to electric vehicles, car shoppers have a lot of questions around the different types of EV chargers, home installation, and the needs and realities around EV range. Cars.com’s editors have the answers in our Guide for the EV Curious.
Cars.com reviewers know that to truly understand EVs, you need to live with them. We do just that — testing their range and charging capabilities, among other areas. Cars.com purchased our first plug-in vehicles, the Nissan Leaf and Chevrolet Volt, back in 2011. Today, we’ve installed home EV chargers at the homes of five editors, and we’re awaiting the delivery of the latest EV that Cars.com has purchased for in-depth testing: the Tesla Model Y.
For the right car shopper, an EV can be for you — but it may not be a good fit for everyone. In our video guide below, we dig into the details to help you decide if an EV is right for you.
