I've tested 20 electric cars, SUVs, and pickup trucks from Tesla, Ford, Porsche, Polestar, and more.
I learned that their advertised range isn't always accurate and charging can be a major pain.

As electric vehicles have taken the world by storm in recent years, I've gotten to drive heaps of clean cars from Tesla, Audi, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Rivian, and more.
