EV Geek Podcast

When shopping for an electric vehicle, most people focus on one number: range.
But experienced EV owners tend to care about something else entirely — charging speed.

In this episode, we break down the real-world tradeoff between EV range and charging speed, and explain why bigger range numbers don’t always mean a better ownership experience.

We cover:

How EV owners actually use their cars day to day

Why road trips expose the biggest differences between EVs

What charging curves are — and why they matter more than peak charging speeds

How bigger batteries can actually slow you down

When extra range truly matters, and when it doesn’t

How to shop for an EV based on your real driving habits, not fear

If you’ve ever wondered why two EVs with similar range can feel completely different, this episode explains exactly why.

When shopping for an electric vehicle, one number dominates the conversation: range.
But that number doesn’t mean what most people think it does.

In this episode, we break down why EV range numbers are so often misunderstood, how real-world driving changes what you actually experience, and why range anxiety is usually caused by bad assumptions — not bad cars.

We cover:

What EV range ratings really measure (and what they don’t)

Why highway driving reduces range more than city driving

How cold and hot weather impact battery performance

Why two EVs with the same rated range can feel completely different

The biggest mistake gas-car drivers make when switching to EVs

What to focus on instead of raw range numbers

EV range isn’t a lie — it’s just incomplete.
Understanding how it works can completely change how you shop for and live with an EV.
