Plugging into the world of electric vehicles

Marc Gustafson, an attorney and EV enthusiast, discusses the advantages and disadvantages of electric vehicles with fellow EV owner and podcast host Steve Dunn

Electric vehicles (EVs) have slowly been taking over the roads of Charlotte. Many people have traded in their transmission cars for one that is more environmentally friendly and offers a quieter and smoother driving experience.

After a year of driving a Ford Mustang Mach-E, Marc Gustafson, an attorney and mediator with Bell, Davis and Pitt, says he will never go back to a gasoline-reliant car. Gustafson even has written an article about what he calls his “personal social experiment” to see if the touted range anxiety and other concerns about EVs held true.

On this episode of The Charlotte Ledger Podcast, Gustafson sits down with Ledger podcast host Steve Dunn — who also drives an EV — to bust some EV myths and talk about the advantages and disadvantages of electric vehicles. They also discuss:

  • How Gustafson landed on a Ford Mustang Mach-E.

  • The cost savings on fuel and lower maintenance costs.

  • Where Gustafson charges his car and how he plans trips around charging stations.

  • The driving experience compared to a transmission vehicle.

  • EV’s high-tech features and advanced safety.

  • Where Gustafson sees EVs in the future.

We hope you enjoy the conversation with Marc Gustafson.
