Oh the dreaded car buying experience... No matter who you are, it’s probably a safe bet this isn’t your ideal way to spend your weekend. In and out of dealerships, the hassle, haggling, the decision making.
When confronted with car buying in today’s modern world, there are just so many more choices besides make/model & “what color do I want?” Now it’s, "which power source do I want? To what level does it drive itself? Which creature comforts & gizmos are available for subscription? Am I Apple or Android?"
Even before so many choices, men and women have traditionally approached this experience differently for a multitude of reasons, some spanning use cases - from “the mom van,” to car enthusiast.
Today we will be diving deeper into What Should I Buy? from a ladies point of view, focusing on the new car buyer versus car collector demographic, and even more specifically EV buyers. Our group of extraordinary petrol-head panelists range from veteran car reviewers, to prospective buyers, as well as ladies already living with EV’s. We’re here to explore what to look for in today’s EV car market.
Joining us tonight we have some returning Break/Fix guests… please welcome: Sara Lacey from A Girls Guide to Cars, Carolyn Ford from the Tech Transforms Podcast, Gran Touring Motorsports club members Emily Fox and Chrissy Crutchfield as well as special guest Kat DeLorean from DNG Motors!
