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?

    My first EV I swore I’d upgrade after diving 3 generations of Prius previously. I test drove a few but my favorite was the Volvo XC40 Recharge. I put 36000 miles on that car but ultimately sold it. I still miss the incredible handling. I could have gone with another Prius but I wanted something higher performance.

    I now drive an F150 Lightning. Amazing truck that I use for light hauling weekly, camping monthly, and as a daily commuter. I went with it over an ICE F150 for fuel efficiency and environmental reasons (of note with the feature set I was looking for there the EV F150 and ICE F150 were effectively at cost parity).
