Electric Vehicle Owners from 10/2/21 Electric Car Show
Short interviews with electric and hybrid auto owners. Owners enthusiastically described the joys and what they feel are the advantages of owning and daily driving their electric/hybrid vehicles. Less cost of operation and maintenance (as low as $35/month in increased monthly electric bill vs. $40/week or more in fuel and engine oil. Increased tire costs come into play over a longer time because of additional torque of electric motors vs. conventional fuel.
