I recently bought an electric car and I have to say it's much nicer than any combustion car I've driven. It's silent, it accelerates instantly, it's cheaper to operate because electricity is cheaper than gas, and I never have to waste my time going to the gas station. Can't travel cross country, but I haven't done that in a decade and I'd want to rent a larger car for a road trip anyway.
- mox1 6y agoSo you had me until the "waste my time going to a gas station". How do you "re-energize" that electric car of yours?

- conk 6y agoThis, to me, is one of the biggest draws of owning an EV. Instead of making a weekly trip to a gas station, you can drive home, and spend a few seconds plugging the car in. That alone is worth a lot. No crowded gas stations, fumes, traffic, etc.
- colinmhayes 6y agoIn addition to the charger in my garage, there are free chargers at my office.
- 205guy 6y agoNot to pick on you, but this statement shows what hurdles of habit and misconception that electric vehicles have to overcome. But it cuts both ways: I think the EV community could do a much better job of communicating and normalizing the EV ownership experience.
- benhurmarcel 6y agoSame, but it doesn't need to be a Tesla. I drove a Renault Zoe and it's very nice to drive in its category.
