Take It EV

Thinking of swapping your car’s rumble for an EV’s silent zoom? In this episode, I am joined by Matt Donnelly, a Vegas magician prepping for the Foolers Live tour, who’s eager to ditch his 2016 Corolla but daunted by EV options. 
We dive into US EV life: conquering the 270-mile Vegas-to-LA trek, comparing Tesla’s slick chargers to Electrify America’s quirks, and how charging hubs are reviving desert stops.

Matt’s open about cost concerns and range fears. I share my top EV tips—test-drive via rentals, master destination charging, and enjoy the road-rage. It’s a lively, no-nonsense guide for anyone eyeing a smoother, quieter ride, Vegas or beyond.
