EV Owners Roundtable \u2013 DTNS Special \u2013 Daily Tech News Show<\/a><\/h4>\n

Tom Merritt and Sarah Lane of the Daily Tech News Show occasionally have what they call Round Table shows. They invite in a few guests to talk about a single subject. This week they invited me, along with Rod Simmons of the SMR podcast<\/a>, Bodie Grimm of the Kilowatt podcast<\/a>, and Howard Yermish from howardyermish.com\/…<\/a> to join them to talk about electric vehicle ownership.<\/p>\n

When they set up the list of questions, I have to admit that I never thought we could get through so many of them with so many people contributing. But it turned out great because each of us had a different perspective and different experiences.<\/p>\n

Bodie’s podcast is all about EVs in general so he has this vast depth of knowledge about the progress of all different companies’ efforts in this area. Rod has owned a Model X himself for a very long time, and his wife has a Model 3 and he’s the master of charging on long road trips. Howard was great because he owns a Hyundai Kona EV which I’d never seen before so it was additive to the Tesla knowledge from me and Rod.<\/p>\n

Tom asked us how much does it cost to charge vs. buying gas. Sarah owns a gas-powered SUV and was shocked at how little we pay to charge in comparison. We talked about the almost non-existent maintenance on EVs and I think quelled fears about the longevity of the big batteries.<\/p>\n

We covered the most common question of how long it takes to charge, and collectively came up with the answer I always say, “It depends!” This was where Rod’s experiences and advice were super valuable.<\/p>\n

We ended by each answering Tom’s question, “Who shouldn’t<\/em> buy an EV?” I was intrigued by our four different answers that I think were all correct.<\/p>\n

Roger Chang is the show’s producer, and he’s notorious for having contrarian opinions and even a lack of enthusiasm. I can prove that this was a great show because when we were finished he was super complimentary and said that he learned a lot. So if you’re curious about what it’s really like to own an EV from four different perspectives. I highly encourage you to follow the link in the shownotes to listen to the EV Owners Roundtable DTNS Special.<\/a><\/p>\n

Support the Show<\/h3>\n

This week two people demonstrated the value they get out of the Podfeet Podcasts in a financial way. I had to giggle at Rob theDutch’s pledge on Patreon because he actually pledged the value of Pi. Now, how nerd-awesome is that? He’s my hero. In his Patreon donation, he thanked me AND Steve for the podcast, which I really liked. Unless you attend the live show where Steve does all the heavy lifting of the production of the video, you may rarely hear from him. But I assure you he’s quietly in the background supporting everything I do and I absolutely wouldn’t be able to do what I do without his help.<\/p>\n

Kenneth went the PayPal route and sent a very generous donation and included a very kind note about the effort I put into helping the community. As I told him, his kind words meant even more to me than the money but that I’ll still accept the money!<\/p>\n
