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?

    Really boils down to 2 things.

    1. Performance. Instant torque and faster than any ICE I’ve owned despite the EVs I’ve had not being the fastest out there. One pedal driving, Incredibly smooth ride. Just love it.

    2. Never stop at gas stations. Sure, charging on road trips takes longer (though my EV6 is pretty great there too), but eliminating weekly stops at gas stations has been awesome. And despite EVs being more expensive than an ICE alternative, I’m not subject to gas price variance and the cost to refuel is significantly cheaper.
