I’m a late 30’s bloke and have always had a love for cars. Japanese, European, American, don’t care, I love cars. Recently though, petrol in my country absolutely skyrocketed in price and I had to give up my wonderful dinosaur-juice powered vehicle for an electric car. I thought I’d hate it, I really did, but my word it’s fantastic! Quiet, comfortable, heaps of bells and whistles to keep me occupied, and it’s genuinely quick. There are a few things I miss, but that pales in comparison to the $100 a week I’m saving in gas.

    I think it makes complete sense. We’re a 2 car household. We’re getting an electric for 95% of our trips, commuting, going to town, whatever. It’s just so stupid to be stopped on the highway during rushout literally burning money. Then we’ll have an ICE car just for farther destinations, or when we don’t know if we’ll be able to charge, but honestly expecting that to be <5% of trips
