First-time EV buyers say they need 300 miles of range. Experienced EV drivers say they could have gotten by with 250. So who's right—and what does that mean for how dealerships sell electric cars?
In this episode of EV Insider, Recurrent CEO Scott Case sits down with Nathan Shaver, Managing Partner of Shaver Automotive Group, to unpack what's really driving EV sales in 2026.
They cover:
