About Us — Ev’s Reviews

From EV skeptic to electric car enthusiast, I share my journey — and the real facts behind EVs.

Who’s Behind Ev’s Reviews

I’m Vanildo Santos — once a skeptic, now an electric-vehicle enthusiast — sharing what I’ve learned and helping people cut through the myths.

About Me

My name is Vanildo Santos, and for a long time I was exactly the kind of person who rolled my eyes at electric cars.

I believed the “classic myths”:

  • that the battery would last 4–5 years and then become a financial nightmare 💸

  • that the car would need to sit charging for 16 hours 🔌

  • that charging at home required a massive, expensive electrical overhaul 🧱

  • and that, in the end, EVs were more “marketing” than reality

But then something changed: I started doing real research. I watched tests, read reports, reviewed technical analyses and real-world numbers — and, most importantly, I understood where the market is actually heading. After that, repeating the same “ready-made truths” just wasn’t possible anymore.

That’s how Ev’s Reviews was born.

Why This Site Exists

Ev’s Reviews is an editorial, opinion-driven digital magazine about electric vehicles and the ecosystem around them.

The mission is simple:

To deliver clear, practical, and honest information for:

✅ people who still feel unsure or intimidated because of the myths
✅ EV owners who want to live better with their car (parts, accessories, charging, safety)
✅ enthusiasts who want grounded comparisons and real-world analysis ⚡

We don’t write to defend brands. We write to defend the driver.

What You’ll Find Here

  • Comparisons (price, real-world range, charging, features, and “who it makes sense for”)

  • Practical guides (home charging, EVSEs, electrical protection, accessories) 🔧

  • Editorial articles that cut through hype and recycled narratives (on both sides) 👀

  • Clear opinions — no fake neutrality

Golden rule: deep content without being exhausting.

How We Evaluate and Talk About EVs

I always aim to:

  • focus on what matters in real life (not just spec sheets)

  • separate “lab range” from real-world range

  • present pros and cons honestly

  • be clear when the best choice depends on your profile, usage, and infrastructure

One important note: whenever the topic involves electrical installation, I always reinforce this: hire a qualified electrician. Safety comes first.

Transparency: Affiliate Links & Monetization

To keep the project running, Ev’s Reviews may use affiliate links (for example: Amazon, Mercado Livre).
This means that if you purchase through those links, I may earn a small commission — at no extra cost to you.

That does not buy opinions.

Whenever an affiliate link is used, I indicate it within the content. Full transparency.
