Reaching 100,000 miles is a major milestone for any EV maintenance plan. We assess if skipping the warranty was worth it. This video breaks down the financial reality of long-term electric vehicle ownership, specifically looking at the health of the battery and drivetrain after hitting the six-figure mark.
New to driving electric? This foundational guide to EV charging covers the essentials to help you power up with confidence. Transitioning from gas to electric means learning how to manage your battery efficiently. We break down the different charging levels, including Level 1, Level 2, and the high-speed options found at public charging stations. Understanding these distinctions is the first step toward mastering your daily routine and avoiding range anxiety on longer trips.
Our Hyundai IONIQ 5 lease is ending — so Grace and I ran a real family scorecard to pick what replaces it. This is not “best EV on Earth.” It’s our driveway, our commute, our budget, and the same eleven tests on every finalist.
We show the card, the trade-offs, and how we scored four real options:
• VinFast VF8
• Kia EV9
• Rivian R2
• Tesla Model Y
Our EV experience started in 2019 with the 2017 Bolt EV. In 2023, I started Jim's EV Adventures after a trip to the Smoky Mountains in our new 2023 Bolt EUV. My wife, Grace, and I will provide you with real-world ownership information, and provide you with context for where the channel is heading next.
