If electric vehicles are going become mainstream in the United States, home-charging must also move into the mainstream. Without being able to recharge their vehicles at home, consumers will find that EVs might simply offer a day-to-day experience that is too complicated and too time-consuming. In this episode of America on the Road host Jack Nerad has the chance to discuss this issue with a man who knows all about it. Brent Gruber is Senior Director of Global Automotive for J.D. Power. We talk with him about a just-released J.D. Power study on electric vehicle infrastructure and home-charging. Are carmakers and dealers doing enough to educate consumers on the ins-and-outs of owning an electric car? We’ll give you the answer.
In the road test segment of America on the Road co-host Chris Teague takes a long, hard look at the 2021 Toyota Sequoia full-size SUV. Based in Maine, Teague put the big sport-ute through a series of family-oriented tasks, and he shares how it did.
Also in the road test segment, host Jack Nerad reviews the 2021 GMC Acadia. The Acadia isn’t the best-known SUV on the market and it is certainly not the biggest, but it might be one of the best-looking. Does it act as good as it look? And what families will find the Acadia most appealing? Nerad lets us know.
What do you do if you buy a car that turns out to be a lemon? Teague and Nerad discuss your options in the listener question portion of the program.
In the news, we discuss some exciting new models that have just been revealed and are headed our way — the 2022 Infiniti QX60 and the 2023 Kia Sportage.
