WAW085: Is an Electric Vehicle (EV) Right For You?

If you are interested in a 1-on-1 financial coaching session, please contact [email protected] to schedule a free consultation.  We’re here for you.

Quick disclaimer, when Kevin and Van recorded this episode, the Inflation Reduction Act was not announced yet.  So if you’re wondering why we this act wasn’t mentioned, this is the reason.  For those who are unaware, this act provides up to $7,500 tax credit incentives for EV’s made in North America and batteries sourced in “free trade” countries.  It’s a great incentive for EV’s and individuals that qualify.  We apologize for the omission of this critical detail, but we still think the episode is very relevant for those considering the purchase of an EV.  In any case, on with the show!
