The new age of car buying: EVs, hybrids and the end of old myths

It's safe to say our last episode on EVs amid the current fuel crisis sparked some lively debate.

Our last guest's take on unreliable EVs and the possibility of brand collapses drew strong pushback.

So, today, we're flipping the script with a fresh take to tackle your top concerns head-on. EV registrations are still surging alongside hybrids and PHEVs.
As of April 19, there were 5346 EVs registered this year, compared to 2493 at the same time last year. Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle, or PHEVs, are at an all-time high up 79% and Hybrids up 6.2%.

Today on The Front Page, AA chief mobility officer, Jonathan Sergel, is with us to break down the fact and fiction around EVs.
