I'm a petrolhead and recently purchased an electric car. I didn't think I'd like it, but I DO!

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".
