Watch Bev’s Electric Vehicle and Charging Adventures

When her oldest son graduated college and needed a car for his new job, Newton homeowner Bev passed down the family vehicle and chose a Nissan Leaf for herself. She hasn’t looked back. Bev loves the car’s zippy acceleration, impressive range, and the freedom of skipping gas stations and oil changes altogether. She began with simple Level 1 charging at home — plugging into a standard outlet overnight — which easily covered her daily driving needs. Later, Bev upgraded to Level 2 charging. The faster charging speeds mean more flexibility, shorter wait times, and the convenience of fully recharging in just a few hours. For Bev, the switch to electric has been smooth, practical, and empowering.
