Having driven an EV for almost a year now, I’m realizing the incredible things I overlooked when I first got the car — things that I’ve grown to adore today.

While I can’t predict my next car, one thing’s for sure: for features like these, which are tough to replicate in a gas car, I’ll be an electric vehicle enthusiast all over again.

Smooth drive

It’s a revelation you won’t fully realize until you’ve driven an electric vehicle. The difference in smoothness is striking, and it’s not something you’re conscious of while driving a gas car.

Vibrations, noise, and the jerkiness of gear shifts — these are things we take as given when driving. But then you step on the accelerator of an EV, and you glide above the road in silence.

Trust me, this smooth ride is a game-changer. A few weeks into owning my EV, I took a spin in a slick diesel MINI car with automatic gear shifting. The experience was unpleasant, to say the least. The noise, vibrations, and what I once considered smooth gear shifts were suddenly annoying and rough.
