24 Simple Tips For New EV Owners (everything you wish you knew BEFORE buying an electric car)

Thanks for watching! Check out darbinorvar.com/ for more info on me and my shoppe!

having had an E.V. for a while now one thing i would say is that if youre thinking about buying an E.V. then watch a few videos on what actually happens when you run out of charge, people seem to think that the car is going along and just stops! It Doesnt !! Basically its really hard to run out of charge as the car warns you for ages then it restricts your speed, it does this with approx 30 miles of range so you can easily find a charging port

This was incredibly informative, and I really enjoyed the format and delivery of your list. Thank you for the time and effort you put towards making this video!

This was extremely helpful. I got my first EV yesterday. Thank you.

I've been talking to a co-worker who owns the Bolt and he's never regretted it. He says 2 yrs later and it owes him nothing. He even did a winter test at his place by letting it run as it were for a full hour. Using the heat and radio and such. He used one battery bar for the full hour. I am keeping an eye on things for the EV that I'd be into. Currently living in an apartment and talked to the property manager. They were intrigued at the cost(very little) with a standard plug in. I look forward to the day when no more gas, oil changes and any other maintenance that a regular car would need over the years.

It is almost the end of 2023 and I have been contemplating buying an EV. Thank you so much for the advice; it is really helping my understanding and final decisions.

Thanks! As an owner of a 2012 Leaf over the last two years (best commuter ever!) it's great having videos like yours explaining how it all works out.

A lot of the charging tips are for older cars. Newer cars like mine MGZSEV SR have LFP batteries which are happy to be consistently charged to 100%. This is something that needs to be addressed more as a lot of reviewers fail to distinguish between the different battery chemistry available depending on the model and age of the car.

Great video 👍 Thanks! We’re ready to buy our 1st EV and I’m doing all my due diligence. This video is perfect in so many ways for us newbies 🙌 I’ll share this video with my wife.

This is a great review. Many thanks for all of the practical tips. A big shout out too for many of the comments provided which I found to be really useful too.

Excellent compilation in perfect depth and length. ❤

Great video! I've had mine for 2 weeks now and so far no complaints!

Great Video! It's the most I've learned in a single video that was not boring. Thank you!

Some great tips you've listed here. Thanks Darbin!!

You really nailed it. You answered all my questions. We're looking at an ev as our next car. Thanks so much.

this was soo informative thank you, very detailed in explaining things

Thanks for your time preparing all this information! I found it very useful for all those that are thinking to buy an electric car ❤ You explained it very simple

What a great video. So clear and to the point. This is one of the best that I have seen. Will help me buying my first ev. Thanks a lot. Also, you have a great speaking voice.

Really nice well done. I hope others get to see this. It is very refreshing to see you embrace the Leaf. We now have 2 EVs for our house. It started with a 2015 Leaf S. Had only 65 miles of range. I got the car due to work I did for a company. The owner wasn't able to pay so he was not using the car. So it was my payment. After 6 months of driving it. It really saved me a lot of money. I am a computer field tech. Now retired but still it started me in the right direction. I think you should also do one of these videos showing how you found the free charge. I use plugshare. Plus I have 2 Nissan dealerships within 6 miles. Plus many public transportation parking with Lvl 2 locations. Another one is local Harley Davidson dealers have CCS charging not super fast. But works. I have a 2021 Bolt now, and my wife drives a 2021 Leaf S Plus.

thank you for taking the time... great video...
