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?

      Which EV do you road trip in? I have an EV and a ICE car and I find that road tripping in them is comparable. Maybe your EV charges slower?

        just last week we went on a 500-mile road trip to the mountains and spent a grand total of 3 minutes tending to the needs of the car with zero worries about when and whether we were gonna get anywhere. it cost us probably $100 more than taking the ev, which in my mind is money well spent to have that piece of mind.

        while driving up a mountain road, we saw an i4 getting winched up onto a flatbed tow truck.
