Here at InsideEVs, we know that it's one thing to argue over charging curves and max kilowatt-hour speeds and the pros and cons of cylindrical, prismatic and pouch battery cells on social media—but another thing entirely for ordinary families to live the electric life when they're constantly pressed for time. By this, I mean that the EV world can be an esoteric one to understand. And when you've got things to and have places to be, you may be afraid of long charging times or even running out of juice at the worst possible moment.
So what's the EV life really like? Ask YouTube musician, comedian and dad Craig Benzine, aka WheezyWaiter, who put together this great video recapping the highs and lows of three years of 2021 Volkswagen ID.4 ownership. I love his perspective here because it's a realistic one: it's not about wild charging experiments or naked clout-chasing, but just what it's like to live with one of these cars for years if you need to do everyday car things.
