If you’ve ever wondered what’s really stopping more people from driving electric, Jan Stanek—better known as Electro Dad—has some answers.
In this episode of the VWIDTalk Podcast, Jan draws on his experience as a longtime EV driver and advocate to break down the most common concerns: price, charging, and the leap into something unfamiliar. He shares what 250,000 electric miles have taught him about cost of ownership, road trip practicality, and how today’s public charging networks are often faster and easier than many expect.
Jan doesn’t preach or push, but he does issue a challenge: try an EV for a weekend and see if you want to go back. He also discusses how small, everyday experiences—like quiet commutes, instant torque, and “fueling” at home—add up to a shift in what car freedom really means. Whether you’re a skeptic or already an EV convert, this episode offers a candid, myth-busting look at the future of electric mobility and beyond. Watch the full episode above.
