Listen "Cars: Plug vs. Pump"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, we dive into one of the most common questions out there about electric cars: “Are they like a normal car?” The short answer? Yes... and no. While driving an EV can feel pretty familiar, the bigger picture reveals some key differences between electric and gas-powered vehicles — from price and maintenance to emissions and everyday usability. We also talk about alternatives like hybrids, and why sometimes, the most sustainable choice is just keeping the car you already own. As always, our approach to sustainability is: do what you’re able to do. Buying a car is a big life moment, and it should fit both your needs and your values.
