Got questions about EV ownership? These GM tutors have answers

• How do you get a home charger installed, and what will it mean for your electric bill?
• What if you want to take a road trip?
• Will the power grid even support all these EVs?

Details: GM's new website, EV Live, launches today and is meant to supplement its 4,500-dealer network by allowing customers to schedule one-on-one tutorials about the EV ownership experience.

• Trained EV specialists (not digital chatbots!) equipped with video cameras can guide people through various dynamic displays in GM's EV Live studio.
• Customers can learn about battery technology and get familiar with different types of charging equipment.
• Specialists can also walk participants through the home charging installation process and refer them to certified installers.
• The free sessions are available to anyone — even non-GM customers — including groups.

It's not a hard sales pitch, says Hoss Hassani, GM's vice president of EV Ecosystem.

• "This is an opportunity to pull more people into the EV consideration pool," Hassani told reporters. "This isn't about us selling a [Cadillac] Lyriq. It's about selling the EV experience."

Reality check: There's plenty of GM marketing embedded in the experience, and by signing up for a live video tour, you're giving permission for a GM dealer to follow up.

Of note: The sessions are also open to business owners looking to electrify their vehicle fleet — and even to GM's own dealers who want to learn more, Hassani said.

The bottom line: Step 1 in the promised EV revolution? Education.
