Ask Shannah: Should I Buy an Electric Vehicle

Every time I’ve gone to fill up with gas this year I’ve thought, “you know, an electric vehicle would really come in handy.” In this Ask Shannah episode, I’m exploring if electric vehicles can really help you save money and whether they are worth it or not with Peter Glenn, co-founder of EV Life. I’ve done a deep dive into all the incentives and tax breaks, but there’s a lot to know, and it feels like an ever-changing landscape. So when a listener question came in from Alex wanting to know if an EV is indeed worth the price tag, I knew we had to do an episode about it. Since I'm still learning myself, I turned to Peter Glenn, who is a co-founder of EV Life and a serious advocate of electric vehicles. As he says in the conversation, electric vehicles are like savings accounts on wheels. There's a lot to discuss.
