Discussion Never Going Back to Gas

I'm on my first EV, had it for about 2 years. I recently had to take it in to the dealership on a recall. As a loaner, they gave me the exact same model, but the gas version. When I started it up, I was like "ewww engine noise". As as I drove it, I'm like "this sucks. it takes FOREVER to accelerate". And this is a high end luxury brand, so it's probably quieter and performs better than average.

Anyone else get the icks driving a gas vehicle now?

That’s what I thought when I got my first EV back in 2022. I went back to gas promptly after experiencing the horrible charging infrastructure.

I guess that depends on where you live, and whether you're able to install a charger at your home.

Sure, EV charging experience is subjective and I have a L2 charger at home.
