Darryl's passion for cars, ignited in Vancouver, Canada, bridges his tech background with hands-on automotive expertise. His foundational knowledge came from working at a VW parts company and personally restoring classics, which included a custom '71 Super Beetle that won competitive show awards. Driven by the electric revolution, his focus shifted to extensive research on electric vehicles (EVs). Today, his family manages a three-EV, multi-brand household and has personally owned five EVs, including the BYD Atto 3, BYD Seal Performance, Tesla Model Y, XPeng G6, and Deepal S07. This unparalleled, real-world EV ownership experience forms the foundation of his upcoming platform, New NRG, which aims to simplify the research process and serve as a comprehensive guide with tips for anyone looking to buy or live with an EV.
