We launched LovEV v2. It’s faster, clearer, and includes features that were not available before.

If you access LovEV from your phone, the first impression should be simple: less clutter, more of what you’re here for. News. Tests. Guides. And tools that actually help with electrical work, rather than just looking good in presentations.

We’ve just launched LovEV v2. This isn’t a minor color update. It’s a new version of the site that we built from scratch for mobile use, speed, and the daily work of our editorial team. The old layout had served its time. It delivered content, but it became increasingly cumbersome. It loaded more slowly, scaled poorly, and it was harder to add features that had been missing for a long time.

v2 is meant to fix these issues. Not with promises, but through what’s already visible on lovev.pl.

What Changed Visually

The layout stands out the most. The home screen is no longer a wall of cards. There’s a sequence: first the news, then what we’re currently testing, followed by apps, folders, guides, and everything else. On a phone, it should be possible to scroll without having to figure out where each item is.

The articles now feature a cleaner typography with more space. Title, lead paragraph, content. Images are meant to support the text rather than overpower it. It’s easier to reach a verdict in tests and reviews without jumping between three different sections.

There’s also a dark mode. It’s a small detail, but it makes a difference when reading at night or in the car with a charger.

If something doesn’t work for you about the new look, let us know. This isn’t a “frozen forever” version. The layout can still be refined. The foundation, however, cannot.

Speed. Because a slow EV site is just a joke.

Electromobility is mainly read from a phone. While charging, in line, during breaks. If the page takes three seconds to load, you close it and go somewhere else.

v2 was designed from the start for Core Web Vitals, not for a “nice screenshot from Lighthouse after disabling ads.” A lighter theme, fewer unnecessary scripts, an updated media pipeline, and a custom SEO engine instead of yet another heavy plugin for everything. The goal is simple: faster article loading, fewer layout shifts, less frustration.

I won’t post a lab results table here and pretend that settles the matter. What matters more is how the site performs on your device. If something still lags on a specific phone or connection, let us know. Such reports are more important to us than a good score on a sterile test.

New features that make sense right away

A few elements came along with the redesign and aren’t just for show.

Tests are currently in progress on the homepage.

You can see what we have available in the editorial team or on the loading page. No spoilers, and no pretending that the content is already ready. Currently under review are items like the Kia EV2 and the Rheidon WB500 wallbox. For those who like to keep track of what we test before the full article is published, it’s all in one place.

An EV catalog and a list of repair shops.

Models, specifications, and a quick overview of what’s available on the market. Alongside that are repair shop listings, because after buying an electric vehicle, people still wonder who can handle repairs locally.

Ads.

Used EVs don’t disappear from LovEV. The marketplace is part of the platform, not an add-on. You can buy, sell, and return to news or tests without switching between three different domains.

Editorial apps.

Charge & Sleep for hotels with chargers and WattRate for charging prices are no longer hidden in the footer. They’re on the home page because they’re tools we use ourselves and are meant to assist beyond just reading articles.

Newsletter (coming soon).

Short updates, once a week, without daily spam. If you prefer to get a summary instead of checking the site every day, registration is available at the bottom of the home page.

What’s next with content (and why we’re telling you this)

A new page only makes sense if there’s content to go with it. That’s why we don’t stop at just redesigning.

There are more tests of cars and equipment in the pipeline. Some can already be seen in the “Ongoing Tests” section, while others are just being planned. The goal is simple: more our own measurements, less copying press releases, and more answers to questions like “how much power does it actually draw from the outlet,” “how does it charge while on the road,” and “is a wallbox just a marketing gimmick?”

We are also expanding the catalog, listings, and buying guides simultaneously. LovEV is meant to be a place you return to when making decisions, not just when scrolling through news from China.

If you’ve been following us for a while, one caveat: you might encounter minor issues due to the migration in the coming days. Links that used to lead elsewhere, layout problems on very old phones, things like that in the comments. We’re fixing these as we go. It’s better to use a functional version than to keep the old platform for another quarter “just because there’s one more thing to improve”.

Why this change at all

Because the EV market in Poland is no longer a novelty for early adopters. People are choosing their first electric car, calculating charging costs, looking for service options, checking used vehicles, and wanting to know which car won’t let them down in winter on the S8 highway, where charging stations are as rare as hen’s teeth (shock!).

To requires a medium that is fast, readable, and doesn’t pretend the manufacturer’s message is a test. LovEV v2 is meant to be exactly that: journalism + data + tools in one place.

Go in, scroll to the home page, open the latest news, check the catalog or ads (none have been added yet, but that’s just a matter of time). If something works better: great. If something bothers you: write (this is important!). This is your service just as much as it’s ours.

And if someone asks, “Was it worth rebuilding everything instead of just applying more patches?” — yes. The old generic foundation could no longer handle it. The new one is meant to deliver content for years, not just the next few months.
