Thinking about getting a EV. Just curious why you got yours. The reasons I can think of are:

  • Environmentally friendly 🌵
  • Cheaper Fuel ⚡️
  • They are cool/trendy 😎
  • Lower maintenance 🔧

Is there anything surprising that you found out after you bought it?

    1. Always wanted one even as a kid growing up in the 90s. Which leads to…

    2. Doing my part in “saving the Planet” by not having to rely on fossil fuels to directly fuel up. Sure, a good chunk of the charging infrastructure relies on fossil fuels for now, but those are being replaced by alternatives/renewables on the daily. Which leads to…

    3. Self Reliance. Not only do I just plug and forget, I also don’t have to worry too much about maintenance. It’s funny when people tell me that EVs are expensive to operate and live with because it’s proof that they don’t actually own one.
