“My 91-year-old father drives a Polestar. Mind you, he also writes his own computer code to create games to amuse himself.” “I am 75 and we have had our BYD since January. Love it, and I love the acceleration when I take off. I’m sure I don’t use as much of the technical stuff as I could, but that’s life.”
“In 2022, both 75, my wife and I bought an Ioniq 5, to put our money where our environmental mouth was. It’s definite, you can just drive it, without worrying/understanding all the techno-stuff available. After a few months, we did learn how to use the smart cruise control, which we love on our occasional highway trips. Also, you can just drive it without worrying about a lot of maintenance. We’ve rotated the tires a few times, and that’s it. Electrics are definitely great cars for us old folk.
“Older people probably don’t drive enough to make EV worthwhile. If you’re spending $700 a year on fuel, a $40k-plus EV isn’t sensible.”
