Late Night Host Seth Myers and Writer John Lutz Talk EVs

On February 25, 2026, VELOZ reported that In partnership with NBCUniversal and Late Night with Seth Meyers, Electric For All brought the everyday EV conversation to a national late-night audience for the very first time. The piece was not a traditional ad, but an episode on the show, as the kind of exchange that feels like one you’ve already had with a friend, neighbor, or coworker who just got an EV.

John Lutz, a writer for Late Night with Seth Meyers, gave Seth a firsthand look at his new electric vehicle and walks him through the practical advantages of EV ownership. In the segment, Lutz breaks down real-world driving range, noting that many modern EVs deliver between 300 and 400 miles on a full charge. He also highlights features such as the front trunk, or “frunk,” and explains why electric vehicles typically require significantly less maintenance than gasoline-powered cars due to fewer moving parts and no oil changes.

The conversation blended education with comedy, culminating in a hilarious high-energy rap video celebrating the benefits of going electric.

Stream Late Night with Seth Meyers on Peacock and watch weeknights at 12:35 ET/11:35c on NBC.

Electric For All, Educating EV Buyers

Electric For All is a public education and outreach campaign, sponsored by Veloz, a California-based non-profit accelerating electric vehicle (EV) adoption, designed to increase awareness and adoption of electric vehicles across the United States.

The initiative provides consumer-friendly information about EV benefits, including lower fueling and maintenance costs, available state and federal incentives, environmental advantages, charging options, and model availability. Its goal is to reduce misinformation and perceived barriers such as range anxiety, upfront cost concerns, and charging accessibility.

EVinfo.net’s Take: More EV Education by Public Figures is Needed, Protect the First Amendment

This great segment demonstrates how influential media voices can help communicate the benefits of electric vehicles in ways that feel accessible rather than political or technical. Trusted entertainers have the ability to shape public understanding at scale.

And the benefits are substantial:

Lower operating costs: EV drivers typically spend less on fuel and maintenance compared to gasoline vehicles.

Cleaner air: A recent California study confirmed that increased EV adoption is measurably improving air quality in communities across the state. The American Lung Association supports EV adoption.

Energy security: EVs, combined with renewable energy and battery storage, reduce U.S. dependence on foreign oil and strengthen national security.

Climate impact: Transportation is a leading source of greenhouse gas emissions. Electrification directly addresses human-caused climate change.

EVinfo.net supports talented, engaging commentators such as Seth Myers, Jimmy Kimmel, Stephen Colbert, and Jimmy Fallon who communicate issues to broad audiences in compelling ways.

From September 17 through September 22, 2025, the American Broadcasting Company (ABC) and its corporate parent, the Walt Disney Company, suspended production of the late-night talk show Jimmy Kimmel Live. We were encouraged to see Kimmel returned to the air, caused by highly commendable public pressure.

When public voices are challenged or removed, Americans have historically responded by organizing, advocating, and supporting the principles of free expression. Open dialogue is essential, especially when discussing transformative technologies like electric vehicles that impact public health, economic stability, and national security.

Bringing EV education into mainstream entertainment is not just smart communications strategy, it’s how cultural change happens, benefitting people and the planet.
