How to Choose an EV (Simple Checklist)

Buying an EV is mostly about charging, range you’ll actually use, and total price.

The checklist

1. Where will you charge most nights? Home charging changes everything.
2. How far is your longest “normal” day? Pick range for your routine, not your once-a-year road trip.
3. How often do you road trip? If it’s frequent, DC fast-charging time matters.
4. How price-sensitive are you? Compare MSRP and “range per dollar”.
5. Do you need AWD or 7 seats? These choices can affect efficiency and price.
