I was watching this person’s videos on the matter. And was wondering what your experience has been with EVs and your opinion on the different connectors?

    As an EV owner, I love my EV. My state had a tax rebate that paid for my home charger, and my SO installed it (though it can be very costly to get a power line run to your parking spot if you can’t do it yourself). It’s easier to drive (1-petal driving, regenerative breaking), I like how quiet it is, and I can go (almost) anywhere roadtrip-wise and have chargers available. However, there is a need for more chargers out in the world as there are places it’s hard to travel because the chargers have too much distance between them.

    As a pedestrian, I wish more people drive electric cars because my walking path is so noisy (and sometimes smelly) on the main road because of the ICE cars. I would prefer a world where we didn’t need cars, but I commute 30 miles at the moment, so that’s out of the question for me.

      I’d like to see more data but I always love to hear people complain bout smoking killing people, when car exhaust is killing possibly twice as many.
