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.

      I got a Leaf and I’m surprised how well it handles, that low center of gravity with the battery pack really helps it feel planted through the corners.

        definitely an advantage here with the low center of gravity

      That’s my favorite thing about my EV. It just goes! Highway merging is so much nicer!
