When shopping for an electric vehicle, most people focus on one number: range.

In this episode, we break down the real-world tradeoff between EV range and charging speed, and explain why bigger range numbers don’t always mean a better ownership experience.

We cover:

How EV owners actually use their cars day to day

Why road trips expose the biggest differences between EVs

What charging curves are — and why they matter more than peak charging speeds

How bigger batteries can actually slow you down

When extra range truly matters, and when it doesn’t

How to shop for an EV based on your real driving habits, not fear

If you’ve ever wondered why two EVs with similar range can feel completely different, this episode explains exactly why.
