What do first time electric vehicle buyers need to know to make the transition to all-electric transportation comfortable?
While there’s a lot to learn when making the switch to EVs, you can do it — especially if you have someone to give you helpful hints.I remember the first time I saw an electric vehicle up-front and in-person. I was a middle school teacher in the early 2000s, and a colleague and I had won a grant called Green and Clean. Because we needed to learn about clean energy, we attended a conference that showcased all kinds of cool, futuristic ideas 🙂 like solar panels and smart grids.

A household plug can take 40 hours from nearly no charge to 80% charge. A 240V plug can take anywhere from 4-10 hours. A fast charger takes about 30 minutes.We always home charge overnight — it limits our effect on the grid, and we’re using very little other electricity at that time.
