The world of electric vehicles is changing fast.

Is there silly hype? Sure.

Can electric be more fun than gas? Buckle up.

Can it save you money? Absolutely.

Is it more complicated to charge than fill up? Depends, but sometimes…yes.

Should you ignore EVs and wait for other people to figure this out for you? Hell no. You should go electric when it makes sense for your lifestyle and your budget.

I created My Next Electric - to help real people electrify their personal vehicle fleets - one electric vehicle at a time.

About Matt

I’m Matt. I've been teaching & coaching for 25 years and electrifying vehicles for 15. Making stuff like this fun & easy to understand is my jam. I don’t know it all. But I’m obsessed with creating a space for everyone to learn what they need to save money and live a more joyful life, especially during this messy transition.

I’ve spent the last year figuring out the best way to help people get started on this stuff. My latest and best iteration is a three-hour online course on EVs and homes. We’ve got more and more demand for EVs now, so that 90-min session’s a stand alone session, now! By the end of the course you’ll understand the pieces of the go-electric puzzle, have tried at least one new electric thing, met other curious people, and starting making a plan for your next electric.

Meanwhile, I’ll be exploring a business model I’ve been crushing on for years. The Second City, famous for improv comedy training, has a unique model that keeps costs low for aspiring comics by supplementing with corporate training and coaching. In fact, business owners have started showing up in our classes, curious about how electric vehicles and appliances might impact their businesses. This is really interesting to me; I think it makes sense to explore serving this community in a way that helps them go electric, makes this work sustainable for the My Next Electric team, and makes the individual courses more accessible.

I’ll keep you posted on the corporate side of this. Please share any feedback, advice here if you’re interested!

After 15 years of (re)designing electric motorcycles , I see two key vehicle design questions under all of this. for 15 years and think the answer comes from how these two platforms deal with 2 fundamental vehicle design decisions: how to store energy (fuel) and how to convert it to motion (motor). As we'll see, that fuel storage question, and gasoline's super-power - energy density

I’m going to ship this version, but in a month, I’m going to scrap the last section for a pro-tips, buying guide tour.

Talk to me

We empathize with leaders in oil & gas, utilities, and automotive. The 1B machines you power help all of us live more comfortable, productive lives. We need you. So we’re helping curious partners navigate the innovator’s dilemma that comes with decarbonization, electrification and the clean energy transition by crafting small-scale experiences in driving and living electric.

That’s what My Next Electric aspires to be fun. Now they can save (and make you) more money than a gas car if you do a few things right. But knowing when and how to switch to electric can be tough. I’m here to help you navigate every step of your EV Journey.

After a few years of answering emails, texts and DMs with EV advice, I realized lots of people needed simple, actionable advice on how and when to get into an EV.

I started My Next Electric in 2021 to help anyone go electric. Since then, hundreds of people have come to this community to start their EV journey. I hope you’ll find this a place you can call your EV home, too. Thanks for being here.

Q: Why trust me and my team on this topic?

A: I’m an educator, energytech investor and EV designer; I’ve been training for this assignment since I was 16.

• I’m a veteran educator. More than 9 million families have been served by schools and learning tools I’ve helped entrepreneurs build; I dig helping people learn new things.
• I’m an award-winning negotiations coach. I sent the salesman to the manager’s office 5 times before I bought my first car at 16. Thanks for the coaching, dad. I won negotiating awards in business school and have taught hundreds of entrepreneurs how to do it.
• I’m an award-winning EnergyTech Advisor. I advise companies across the US ike B2U, operator of the country’s largest used-EV-battery power plant; NeoCharge, maker of a smart splitter for EV chargers, and Edge Energy, maker of charging gear that helps people in rural communities charge as fast as anyone else.
• I’m an electric vehicle designer. Here’s a bike The Walking Dead’s Norman Reedus tested on his show, The Ride. Building EVs makes me a better coach since I know how they work, and how they can break. :|

• I live in Louisiana. If you live in California, you probably don’t need an EV coach; 1 in 4 new cars there is an EV. Where I live, it’s closer to 1 in 100. If I can help people here love life with an EV, I can probably help you. No matter where you live (or how you vote), YOU deserve a safe space to explore making your next vehicle(s) electric.
