Building EV charging infrastructure is far from simple. From EV charging companies to real estate, there’s a lot to consider.

TWC Podcast #153: Death, Taxes, and EVs

The Watt Car EV Podcast ·

2024/01/11

Since the only thing certain in life is death and taxes, EV owners should expect to eventually be charged a road tax — similar to the one already paid by ICE drivers every time they fill up. But what are the pitfalls of implementing such a program, and is there even a fair and equitable way of accomplishing the goal? We dive into the topic, looking at what some states and countries do (or have proposed). But being that this is such a complex subject, it could be that there is no easy solution

This week, we dive into a real-world dealership experience when a friend of the podcast heads to a Lexus dealership for an oil change on their ICE vehicle and leaves with their very first BEV, a Lexus RZ 450e. How did the dealership educate this new EV buyer? How are they enjoying the vehicle’s charging experience?
