I recently purchased a 2020 Chevy Bolt EV from Green Wave. I have over a 100 mile round trip commute to work every day. I had been leasing for years, but began having to turn in my leased vehicle way before the lease term ended because I was way over on my allotted miles. I was as also having to fill my tank approximately every other day. I had been thinking about buying an EV for a long time, but I knew nothing about EV’s and was apprehensive about buying an expensive EV when I knew nothing about EV ownership!
I finally decided to check out Green Wave EV in North Hampton, NH. During my research of used EV’s, I had seen ads from Green Wave. So, on my day off I drove to Green Wave and put myself into the capable hands of Joshua Webb and owner, Jesse Lore. I was honest with them about how little I knew about EV’s, and I asked them to please educate me so that I would feel more comfortable about possibly purchasing one.
They asked me about my concerns, my driving habits, commuting distance and what I was spending on fuel during a month. Joshua let me drive several different vehicles and thoroughly explained the differences between them. I was surprised and impressed with how these EV’s drove and handled. They sat with me and fully explained the cost of ownership of an EV as compared to the vehicle that I had been driving. They provided me with a detailed report that showed how much I would save by making the switch to an EV. Jesse then explained to me that the Chevy Bolt that I liked most qualified for a new $4,000 rebate on used EV’s. The rebate came right off of the selling price of the vehicle.
Before buying the vehicle I had installed a Level 2 home charging station in my garage. My vehicle only costs about $8.50 to fully charge it while I’m sleeping. Now I head to work every day in a fully charged EV. It sure beats having to stop to fill up my vehicle every other day, to the tune of about $37.00 per fill up.
If you are in the market for an EV, and are intimidated by the high price of a new EV, I highly recommend that you make the trip to Green Wave EV in North Hampton, NH. I only wish that I made the trip sooner. I am one extremely happy...
Read moreI bought my pre-loved Chevy Volt from Jesse Lore at Green Wave Electric Vehicles in May of 2023 and have been driving all electric since. I cannot say how much this was the right decision for me. I could talk about how it feels to reduce my carbon footprint, how the car is lots of fun to drive, how the range is much better than I expected, how surprised I was to find there are charging stations everywhere, and how nice it is to just plug in at home overnight and come out to a fully-charged vehicle ready to drive up to 200 miles on highways or 350 miles in town. What was more important to me was the experience. I walked in knowing I needed a new car as my prior car proved no-longer reliable. I got a good deal, was treated fairly, and they took the time to answer all my questions about the switch from hybrid to full electric. It didn’t take me long to identify the car I wanted and was given all the appropriate information to decide between all available options without pressure. They got me approved for a loan very quickly, basically overnight, and found a convenient time to get me into my newer car. Their staff sat with me for far longer than I could have expected explaining everything about the new car; every button, switch, menu screen, connection option, plugs, apps to find charging stations, the information needed for an electrician to set up a charging station in my garage. Honestly the best car buying experience I have ever had in 30 years of owning cars. Anyone even considering getting an electric car and wanting more information would do well to stop at Green Wave Electric Vehicles before buying...
Read moreI had the best car dealer experience I've ever had at Green Wave EV. I hate buying cars at dealerships, but my son wanted to check them out, so I went along to test drive some stuff with him. From crossing the threshold we were met by Jesse who was incredibly warm and welcoming. Most sales people are, but after a few minutes I understood that Jesse actually cared about what our needs were, how we drove, what our Use Case was for EVs, and he offered sage advice without being pushy or up in our face.
He spent a lot of time with us in many cars despite our not being immediately in the market for an EV, and knew everything about every model. I ended up looking closely at a car myself, and Jesse was open and honest about the car's drawbacks as well as benefits. It was really like having a knowledgeable friend along.
A few weeks later I ended up buying a Tesla (despite the owner of the Tesla corporation itself, I love everything about the car) for an amazing deal, and all of the dealer communication was prompt, precise and free of hassle. They made sure the car was in top mechanical shape, and we got a thorough and interesting "Intro to Teslas" by one of the staff, Peter, who also owned one.
I really can't say enough about these folks. I've told my family, the guy at the recycling center, my parents who live out of state, etc that they have to come check this place out if they want a pre-owned EV or hybrid. Thank you Jesse and Peter for everything!
I've never named a car before but you have to name these, so thank you Jessa and Peter and everyone else for my 2022 Model...
