Buying An Electric Car: The Complete Guide to Choosing, Charging, and Negotiating Your Next EV

By David Kirste

Stop guessing. Start buying with numbers.

Electric cars promise lower running costs and a quieter ride - but between range claims, charging costs, incentives, and dealer add-ons, "it depends" can quickly turn into confusion. Buying An Electric Car replaces the guesswork with a clear, step-by-step system for every stage of the decision: from your first budget calculation to your first week of home charging.

Across 40 focused chapters, you'll build practical tools you can use immediately - not vague advice, but real worksheets, decision flows, and worked examples with actual numbers.

Inside, you'll learn how to:

- Calculate your true total cost - not just the sticker price
- Tell real-world range apart from the EPA number on the window sticker
- Choose the right battery size and home charging setup for your driveway
- Compare lease vs. buy and financing offers using the same rules
- Negotiate the price like a pro and spot hidden dealer add-ons
- Judge battery health, warranties, and used or certified pre-owned EVs
- Plan road trips with charging stops you can actually rely on
- Avoid the most common - and most expensive - buying mistakes

Whether you're comparing your first EV against a gasoline car or trading in an older electric vehicle, this book gives you the exact questions to ask, the numbers to check, and the checklists to bring to the dealership.

Buy with confidence. Buy with numbers.
