I'm a petrolhead and recently purchased an electric car. I didn't think I'd like it, but I DO! (lemmy.fmhy.ml)

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 Nissan Leaf. I wanted a full EV over a hybrid to save on maintenance costs.
