Electric Vehicle Buyer’s Guide: What to Know Before Purchasing an EV

If you’re considering buying an electric vehicle, you’ll have to answer one big question: Where will you charge it? Plus, how often?

More than half of U.S. consumers say they are thinking about buying either a new or used EV, up from 38% in 2021, according to recent research from Cox Automotive. The top reason people aren’t going for EVs? The cost, followed by a lack of nearby charging stations.
