Sweet Commute
EVs, charging, e-bikes and scooters in plain English. Cole shows the working, so you can check it against your own commute and decide for yourself. No hype, no hard sell.

Real-world data says EV batteries lose about 2.3% a year, and replacements are rare. LFP vs NMC in a car, what wears a battery, and why it isn't your phone.
Watt-hours, not range claims. Motor type, battery care, local power limits and what to ask the shop, explained so you can compare e-bikes for yourself.
Car-pooling, EVs, rideshare, e-scooters, bikes and your own two feet, compared on what they cost, how much road they use and whether they actually beat the traffic.
What shared e-scooters cost per trip, how the zones and parking rules work, how they get charged, and when buying your own makes more sense.
Route, bike, clothes, rain and what it really costs. A practical plan for your first weeks of riding to work, with or without a motor.
