Ep 46 - Buying a House with EV Savings - Used EVs & Social Equity with Ben Brown - Part 1
Show Notes Chapter Markers

Ben Brown shares his EV story starting with a hybrid, a loaner EV, an EV purchase and resulting in Ben being able to afford a house from the EV savings.  We dive into fuel and maintenance savings, short-range EVs, our first EV experiences, Ben's Mitsubishi i-MiEV, and much more.

Ben is also interested in an Aptera, but we ran during this recording so long I decided to keep that for Part 2.  See Episode 47 for that discussion (scheduled for 1/31/24 release).
