ev&Me · The Experience
We help people figure out if an electric car is right for them, and which one. Independent, in person, no commissions and no pressure.
"I want an EV but I'm not sure which one fits my life."
"Every salesperson just wants to close the deal."
"I don't want to spend $70,000 and regret it."
What It Is
We work for you — not the dealer, not the manufacturer.
Every salesperson has a financial stake in what you buy. We don't. Our job is to give you an honest read on whether an EV makes sense for your situation.
The ev&Me Experience is a half day. We start with a conversation to understand your commute, parking, road trip habits, and concerns. Then we go drive — vehicles we've pre-selected for your situation, on a route that includes a real charging stop.
Afterward, you get a written assessment of what you drove, an honest recommendation, and a clear sense of what owning one would actually look like for you.
A salesperson rides along steering the conversation toward a close. You drive a pre-set route in a parking lot. You leave with a brochure and a follow-up call.
An independent advisor who knows your situation rides along answering every question honestly. You drive a real route including a charging stop. You leave with a written assessment and a clear decision framework.
ev&Me earns nothing from your vehicle purchase. We're paid by you, for your benefit. That independence is the entire point.
When people who don't drive an EV want to know what it's really like, 50% ask a friend, a relative or a colleague — far more than trust a dealership salesperson, who about 29% of EV drivers rate as not knowing the product. Most people simply don't have that friend. That's the job.Plug In America EV Driver Survey, 2025
More Americans would seriously consider a hybrid than an EV — 44% against 32%. We will tell you if that's you. A dealer selling one brand cannot.Pew Research Center, March 2026
How It Works
Four stages, each building on the last, so the decision at the end rests on something you've actually done.
A 30-minute video call covering your commute, parking, road trip habits, budget, and concerns. This shapes the rest — the vehicles we select, the route we plan, the questions we prepare.
30 MIN · VIDEO CALLWe build your EV shortlist — two vehicles maximum, chosen for your specific situation, not the most popular cars. We coordinate with dealerships, plan your test route, and identify a real charging stop along the way. You receive a one-page pre-read so the drive is meaningful, not overwhelming.
1–2 HRS · PREPARATIONWe meet at the dealership. Walk-around, then drive — a real route, with your advisor in the passenger seat answering every question in real time. The charging stop isn't a demo: you plug in, you wait, you unplug. You experience it yourself. Most of the worry about charging comes from never having done it.
2–2.5 HRS · IN PERSONA written document delivered to your ev&Me portal. Your EV profile, an honest assessment of every vehicle you drove, a recommendation framework, the questions to ask the dealer, and a map of the chargers most relevant to your daily life. Something you can share with your spouse, your family, your financial advisor.
DELIVERED TO YOUR PORTALWhat You Leave With
Delivered to your ev&Me portal within 24 hours.
A written summary of your situation — commute, parking, charging setup needed, typical use cases. The foundation of every recommendation we make.
An honest, personal assessment of every car you drove. What worked for your profile. What gave us pause. Written in plain language, not spec-speak.
A clear recommendation based on what we observed and what you told us — including the case against, where there is one.
The three to five chargers most relevant to your home and regular routes — with honest notes on each one. Not a screenshot. A personal reference.
Specific questions to ask based on what came up during your experience. Pull this up on your phone when you're back at the lot. Walk in prepared.
What to do once you have decided — and how an Ownership Session works once the car is in your driveway. A clear path forward.
Who It's For
You've been thinking about an EV for months. You've done research but feel overwhelmed. You're close to a decision but not confident enough to commit without an outside opinion.
You don't have time to visit five dealerships and cross-reference twelve comparison articles. You want someone who's already done that work to give you the relevant answer for your specific situation.
Gifting the ev&Me Experience gives someone independent guidance before a purchase they'll live with for years. A parent, a spouse, a partner facing a decision they haven't made before.
Pricing
The ev&Me Experience is $299 for a single vehicle. Add a second vehicle for $75. This is a professional service fee for independent guidance on one of the largest purchases most people make in a year.
We charge you directly. No referral fees, no dealer commissions. That independence is the whole point.
For context: the average dealer test drive is 15 minutes in a parking lot
ev&Me works with dealers who would rather sell to an informed buyer. We bring pre-qualified, motivated buyers to your lot. Ask about our partner program.
