I needed another car, so I looked into comparing an EV with a gas-powered economy car.
Electric vehicle charging stations at Sam's Club in Salt Lake City on Thursday, May 11, 2023.I liked the idea of producing less emissions than burning gas, but it had to fit my lifestyle.I made a short list of the things I sacrificed for driving electric.I sacrificed driving long distances. When I looked at my daily driving habits it didn’t seem to matter anyway. I keep my car charged at home.
On a long road trip, I rented a car so I wouldn’t put the wear and tear on my own vehicle. EV has plenty of power for freeway driving.I sacrificed noise. I cannot rev my engine or peel out, change gears, etc. I think we will notice the quiet. This may be eerily disturbing to some who grew up with background noise.
EVs are required to produce artificial sound so those who rely on sound will hear an EV coming. I’m sure each model has their own “sound” and eventually we will be able to tell the difference between models. If we don’t have to drill for fossil fuels so much, maybe open space will come back for people and animals?Kouri Richins’ mother possibly helped kill daughter’s husband, investigation showsGordon Monson: Great news for BYU — maybe — heading into the NCAA Tournament
