Have you thought about buying or leasing an electric vehicle (EV), but you are not sure you can afford it or even how they work?

Our episode gives the interested future owner a detailed but easy to understand dive into the world of EV’s from the perspective of a longtime owner and an expert in EV’s.

We answer the questions:

·  How much does it cost to drive an EV per mile?

·  What is the average range of an Electric Vehicle on a charge, and what are the different ranges based on the size of the batteries?

·  How do you charge the vehicle, and do you have to get special charging equipment?

·  How do EV’s work?

·  What kind of rebates are out there?

Electric vehicles produce much less emissions than gas-powered vehicles. They are safer to drive, cheaper for the life of the vehicle, and have fewer repair costs. Owners report that EV’s are fun to drive and can accelerate easily on demand with no emissions or noise. Our guests, EV owner, Mary Francis Kelly-Poh and Executive Director of Plug in America, Joel Levin share their experiences and knowledge of owning and driving EV’s.

Are you interested in switching to an electric induction stove from gas? Here's everything you need to know about the newer induction electric stoves. In this video, we clear up:

• How do energy efficient induction stoves work?
• What are the advantages of induction stoves over gas?
• What are the serious health effects that can be caused or worsened by gas stoves?
• What chemicals may be released in the home by gas stoves when in/or not in use?
• Why are induction stoves safer than gas and electric stoves?
• What green-house gasses are emitted from gas stoves?
• Are there rebates?

Induction electric stoves are more energy efficient than gas and electric stoves and can boil water or heat up food much faster than both. They also are healthier than gas stoves because energy is transferred to the pot by an electromagnetic field, so the glass surface of the burner never gets hot like an electric stove and the stove turns off after the pot is removed.

Guests, homeowner Katie Booth and retired pediatric dermatologist, Dr. Mary Williams share their experiences switching over to induction electric stoves. We also discuss the dangers of having a gas stove in our home for our families’ health and for the health of our community.

Special Thank You to our Guests: Katie Booth and Dr. Mary Williams
