We’ve just posted our latest podcast episode 20 – Should Winston Buy an EV? Go check it out and remember to subscribe: https://bit.ly/3NFvWq8 
On Our Podcast Show this week, we’re talking about Electric Vehicles, aka EVs. Why? Because gas prices have been all over the place, and Winston’s better half has been pushing him to get one. But should he do it?
Luckily, Stephen is a seasoned EV driver and enthusiast, and Winston finally gets a chance to ask all the questions he’s been dying to ask him. He’ll be asking serious questions before spending some major coin, from the environmental impact of manufacturing, the total cost of ownership, waiting times, and why it’s so hard to get one. We’ll also be touching on longer-term considerations like lithium battery recycling and replacement and whether the used market is a viable alternative. Let’s dive straight in!
