Dummy's Guide To EV Charging | All The Things They DON'T Tell You!

Buying an electric vehicle isn't like a petrol vehicle. It's not that it's complicated... it's just different. And for those starting out, it can be difficult to know where to start. That's why we've put together this video to help beginners understand where to start. So even if you know nothing about electric vehicle, and all you've heard are horror stories, this video will answer any questions you may have (and many that you didn't).

Even for those who've been driving EVs for years, there's plenty to learn so we've got you cover.
