Electric vehicles aren’t just “the future” anymore—they’re the car in your neighbor’s driveway, the quiet taxi that glides past you at a traffic light, the rental you’re thinking about trying on your next trip. And yet, for most drivers, the world of EVs still feels confusing, noisy, and full of fine print.
EV was created to change that.
This blog is a practical, honest, and slightly nerdy companion for anyone who is curious about electric cars—whether you’re comparing your very first EV, managing a daily commute with charging stops, or wondering what happens to a battery after 150,000 km.
Our Mission
At EV, our mission is simple:
Help everyday drivers make smarter, calmer decisions about electric cars—without hype, fear, or jargon.
That means you’ll find:
- Clear explanations of EV basics (range, batteries, charging levels, degradation, warranties)
- Real-world ownership stories and lessons learned
- Cost breakdowns that compare EVs with gasoline and hybrid cars
- Charging guides for home, workplace, and public stations
- Long-term reviews that look beyond the first test drive
We believe a good EV decision isn’t just about specs on a brochure. It’s about how a car fits into a real life, with real commutes, real weather, real electricity bills—and occasionally a forgotten charging cable.
Who’s Behind EV
Hi, I’m the writer behind EV—a long-time car enthusiast who slowly fell down the electric rabbit hole.
I started where many people do: skeptical but curious. I worried about range, chargers, and resale value. I read too many spec sheets, watched too many polished ads, and still felt like something was missing: real, grounded, experience-based information that answered the questions people actually had.
So I began tracking my own EV journeys:
- How far I could really go on a single charge in different seasons
- What charging did to my electric bill
- How fast fast-charging actually is when you’re tired and it’s raining
- Which costs surprised me—in both good and bad ways
Those notes turned into guides, comparisons, and eventually into this blog. EV is where all of that research, data, and lived experience gets translated into articles that you can actually use.

Our Values
A few principles guide everything on EV:
- Clarity over hype
We like EVs, but we don’t worship them. You’ll see both advantages and limitations, not marketing slogans. - Real-world first
Lab numbers are interesting; lived experience is essential. When possible, we connect claims to real driving, real distances, and real costs. - Respect for your time and money
An EV is a major purchase. We take seriously the responsibility of influencing how you spend your hard-earned money and time. - Continuous learning
EV technology moves fast. We regularly revisit and update our understanding as charging networks, battery tech, and policies evolve.
Independent, But Not Isolated
