Ask An Owner

Individuals and families considering the purchase of an electric vehicle for the first time may be understandably nervous about committing to such an expensive, unfamiliar purchase. Sometimes rather than talk to a car salesperson, you may find yourself wishing you could just talk to someone who already owns the car.

Now you can.

EVEVA is assembling a list of owners of Teslas, Leafs, Bolts, i3s, Konas, Niros, and others who are willing to chat with potential EV buyers about their experiences. We also have folks who can talk about installing a home charging system, charging up when traveling, and other topics of great interest to the prospective EV owner.

Send a message to askanowner@eveva.org with your name, email, a phone number, and the particular car or system you have a question about, and we will have one of our EV owners give you call.
