* More reliable: They're much simpler and have many fewer moving parts.
* Lower maintenance: There's no need to keep a complicated engine with lots of moving parts properly lubricated.
* Much quieter: No sound, even when accelerating like a race car.
* More pleasant: You never again have to pump smelly, poisonous, explosive liquids.
* More storage: Two trunks!
* Better performance: Faster acceleration, smoother driving, better handling -- "grips the road" (most of the weight is underneath).
I could keep going...

- vel0city 3y agoIts like 100F outside every day here these days. I've had so many people say "wait I thought you said its electric why can I still hear it?" when its just the AC running. Like, yeah, its 100F outside, the condenser coil still has a fan on it and is trying to reject a lot of heat and there's still a compressor churning away.
