We all grew up as kids riding in the back seat of our parents gasoline powered car watching them drive it, fuel it, take it in for service, road trip in it, maybe even do some minor maintenance on it. We learned, almost by osmosis, how to own and operate a gas car. So by the time we got our license and we were ready to own and drive our own car, there was no mystery to it. Turn the key and go. But these electric powered cars, how different are they? You have heard a lot of myths and criticisms of EV's. Are they true? Do they really save you money? And bottom line, can they do the job for me, and my family? Join Ron Groves, EV ambassador with Plug'n Drive, as he answers these questions and more.
