Owning an Electric Car in New York City (or any city)

Thinking about owning an EV in New York City? In this video, I break down what it’s really like to live with an electric car in NYC...

⚡️ Whether you’re considering a Tesla, Rivian, Lucid, or any other electric vehicle, this video covers:
• Charging at home vs public charging in NYC
• What it’s like without a home garage
• Tips for daily EV drivers in the city
• EV road trip planning from NYC
• The reality of charging infrastructure
• Who should and shouldn’t get an EV in NYC

NYC can be one of the hardest — or easiest — places to own an electric car. It all depends on how you drive.

📍 Based in the Lower East Side, I share my personal experience with EV ownership, and what you need to know before making the switch.

If you’re thinking about buying an electric car in the city, or just curious how EV life works in NYC, this one’s for you.
