Just got an EV. I’m in love.
I just got a Dodge Charger Daytona EV. I didn’t know if I’d like it, but I’m so in love with this vehicle. First, the muscle car style combined with an EV is perfect for me. I charged it yesterday and some guys were checking it out for a solid 10-15 minutes as I showed them all the features. In an ICE, when someone is trying to merge onto the highway, it’s always a dance of whether they are going to speed up, slow down, or just merge into the side of my car. With the EV, I just gun it and it isn’t an issue. Finally, the closest charging station to my house is at the county health department. They can’t charge more than cost. So I took my car from 30% to 80% on less than $5. The charging took a little longer than I would have liked, but I cannot beat the price.
That being said, it was really early when I showed up on county property and the police pull up and scope out the vehicle to make sure I was actually charging and not breaking into county property at 5am. No knock or anything, just staring me down for a few minutes before deciding I wasn’t a threat. 😂
