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.
Jumping on to this. We’ve gotten into ebikes and they are borderline life changing
I would recommend giving them a try to almost everyone and they can be a really good alternative to driving your gas guzzling car without needing to drop on an electric one
I have my eye on those, but I wonder how practical they would be in New England outside of “habitable season”.
A lot of that comes down to some combination of your personal tolerance level and quality of the local infrastructure though.
I will say that if they can bike year round in Finland there’s plenty of hope New England!
That’s awesome news! Just goes to show that you don’t need to be loyal to the fuel, you can have a kickass car that runs on anything
Eventually I’ll get myself a project car which will be petrol, but for a car to get from point A to point B, I don’t think I’ll ever get another ICE powered car.
I feel like I’m living in the future with my EV
Yes! Absolutely! Pair that with paying for shit with my phone and I feel like I’m in Star Trek, except without the uniforms and cool shit.
