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?

    For me, I bought it for the environmental benefits. I know it sounds corny but I did it for my (at the time) unborn grandkid. I did solar at the same time. I have a lifetime of karmic debt to repay. Every year I have dumped about 4.6 metric tons of CO2 into the air from my former ICE car and about 7.5 metric tons each year from the house.

    Now that I have the EV, huge unexpected benefit was… it’s freekin FUN to drive! It’s so convenient to have home charging. Even road trips have been easy. Honestly I can’t believe I could both help clean up the environment and improve my life so much. It feels like I’m cheating. Shouldn’t repaying my debt to future society be painful? At least a bit?
