The Silent transition to Electric

For a driving enthusiast, yes. But vast majority of people think of cars more of an appliance rather than source of joy.

Just got into 2 EV leases… instead of 2-year (which I prefer), I went with 3-year just to see how things shake out.

Still doing L1 charging at home but probably going to add an L2 now that our last ICE may also go EV but not sure where incentives will be by then (although it should be before end of year).

Auto prices generally went up across the board, sorry you are not keeping up from inside your reality distortion field.

Text to dealer: How’s your month?
Dealer owner: Total dogshit.

Seems like June better be a good one or dealer staff will start to get canned. There won’t be any transition to electric at all if this keeps up!

March and April were spent shaking the trees so May’s been a bit more relaxed.
