First-time EV buyers say they need 300 miles of range. Experienced EV drivers say they could have gotten by with 250. So who’s right—and what does that mean for how dealerships sell electric cars?

In this episode of EV Insider, Recurrent CEO Scott Case sits down with Nathan Shaver, Managing Partner of Shaver Automotive Group, to unpack what’s really driving EV sales in 2026.

They cover:

Why the 300-mile requirement is a first-timer’s myth

What’s actually happening in California’s EV market post-tax credit

Why 300,000 off-lease EVs hitting the market in 2026 is a massive opportunity

How EV service contracts are failing dealers and consumers

What Nathan sees coming nationally that California is already living through
