When you're new to thinking about, or driving an EV, one of the biggest questions is "How do I charge this thing?" And as we see more and more people thinking about getting behind the wheel of an EV, we're seeing those same questions that we answer in our consultancy, over and over again.

How do I charge it?

Where do I charge it?

How do you plug in?

What kind of charger do you need?

How do you charge on the road?

What are all the different kinds of connectors?

Today we answer all of that along with tips and tricks for getting the best out of your charging experience and more.

Its a video you can share with your friends and family who're thinking about - or who've just got - an EV.
