We’re Retired… Is an EV Really for Us?

We’re retired, and we’ve bought an electric car — but did we make the right decision? In this video, we look back at the decision-making process that led us to choose an EV and share our experience of owning one so far. We talk about the things we considered before making the move, including range, charging, running costs, practicality and whether an electric car really suited our lifestyle in retirement. This isn’t a technical EV review or a sales pitch. It’s our honest experience as a retired couple who have actually taken the plunge. We’ll share what has surprised us, what we’ve enjoyed, what hasn’t gone quite as expected, and whether, based on our experience to date, we think buying an EV was the right choice for us. 🔔 SUBSCRIBE If you enjoy our mix of travel, information and arguing, please join us and subscribe.    / @theretiredadventurers   ☕BUY US A COFFEE If you really enjoy our videos, you can 'Buy Us a Coffee' as a special thank you.
