Hi Richard, Welcome to the list. As others have said, read, read, read. In time you start to figure out what is good/not so good. In addition to this list and diyelectriccar.com also look at evtv.me. I have seen some in the UK post in the blogs. You might be able to connect with them.
As you will discover, if you haven't already, there are some strong opinions on some topics. Take time to read enough of the various perspectives/positions to determine what is best for you. Everything in life is a trade-off. You just have to figure out what trade-offs you are willing to live with.
