I’ve been driving an EV for the past three years and absolutely love it.
The quiet ride, the instant torque, and knowing that I’m not polluting the places I visit are just a few of the perks.
However, it’s time to start thinking about my next EV, and once again, I’m facing that familiar question: Do I prioritize maximum range or the fastest possible charging speeds?

Let me cut straight to the chase… I’m come across what I believe is the best EV review site on the planet.
Titled myEVreview, this fantastic website shares owner reviews of all EV makes and models.
EV owners describe the pros and cons of their vehicle, as well as writing a detailed review including photos and sometimes YouTube videos.

As regular readers of this site will know, I’ve been super interested in electric cars for a long time, so I was excited to find last year that I could lease one through the Salary Sacrifice Scheme. This scheme makes it easy and affordable to lease a new car — including electric cars.
In my case, I arranged to lease a fully-electric Kia Soul just over a year ago. The car has a 280-mile range, which is more than sufficient for the vast majority of my journeys.

Electric cars are amazing vehicles, but if you need to use public EV charging stations then you could find the fun and enjoyment of driving electric can be quickly tainted.
As someone who drives a pure electric car and relies 100% on public charging points, I’ve had to learn the hard way on how to make the most of a still evolving public charging network.
However, rather than you going through the same pain points as me, I thought I’d share some of my tips on how to make your charging experience as pleasant and stress-free as possible.
Let’s dive straight in…

“Sustainable energy is the fundamental problem the world faces.” – Elon Musk
Every generation needs a pioneer who can transform industries and societies.
Elon Musk certainly fits this mold.
Musk, 43, was a co-founder of PayPal, who after selling his holdings in that company, looked for ways he could help the world through green, innovative and futuristic businesses.
You may not know his name, but it is likely you have heard of Tesla – his increasingly successful electric car company.
Musk is also the CEO of SpaceX, who is developing the tools and technology to allow us to live in space. And finally, he is the Chairman of SolarCity, his renewable-energy company specializing in Solar Power for both homeowners and businesses.
Musk is such an important figure in the way our future is developing that it is worth looking in more depth at each of his major commercial offerings.

Are you fascinated by electric cars but unsure if they are for you?
Many people feel like this. Electric cars appear very exciting.
But what about range, charging points and cost?
Let’s cut through the confusion and look at 7 reasons that might convince you why electric cars are indeed for you.
Running exclusively on an electric motor and batteries, electric cars have no combustion engine. This means no petroleum or diesel fuel needed. If charged from renewably-sourced energy (solar or wind for example) they are significantly greener than a conventional car.
