People often ask the best thing about an EV and the answer is easy; it is waking up to a full battery every morning.

Imagine what your life would be like if there was a “gasoline fairy” that snuck into your garage each night and insured you had a ½ tank of gas.  If you drove 20 miles they add a gallon, if you drive 100 miles they add 5 gallons.  How often would you go to the gas station?  My guess is rarely, very rarely, and it is a great feeling. 

Now people ask what has happened to your electric bill and yes it has gone up, about $17/month.  Not bad for an average of 800 miles/month of driving and I added a plug in kit on my wife’s Prius and a battery powered lawnmower during the same time.
