🟢 Saturday Starter:
Shockingly Simple: Selling EVs with Confidence
Every customer walking in today has heard an EV myth: they do not go far enough, charging takes forever, they cost too much. If you stumble when answering, the deal dies. If you stay clear and confident, trust grows and the customer stays with you.
That is what EP58 is all about: giving consultants the language and tools to turn EV confusion into clarity, and clarity into confidence.
Truth Bomb 💣
Nearly 3 out of 4 customers would consider an EV if a salesperson could explain charging simply. The barrier is not technology, it is trust.

AutoKnerd History Lesson
Weird & Awesome from Automotive History
The Never Satisfied
In 1899, an electric car set the world land speed record.
It was called La Jamais Contente (“The Never Satisfied”), and it looked more like a torpedo on wheels than a car. Powered by two electric motors, it became the first road vehicle to break 100 km/h (62 mph).
The kicker: over 120 years ago, the fastest car on Earth was not gas-powered, it was electric.
Proof that EVs are not new, just making a comeback. And just like then, confidence in the technology is what makes the difference.
Today’s Mission: Bust one EV myth in the wild +10 XP
