Ten Reasons Why You Will Enjoy Owning an Electric Car

• 1. Torque. (Back before 1973's first oil crisis, torque and horsepower were all the rage. It was all about how much torque your hot rod produced. Well just sit back and hold on. Even the Nissan Leaf will push you back into the seat when you hop on the accelerator. You've been warned!)
• 2. Clean Garage. (No oil drips, or transmission fluid making a mess. And it's always odor free when you start it up)
• 3. Always Full.  (No more stopping at the pump and watching your bank account take a huge hit!)
•  
• 4. Very Smooth. (There’s no clutch, no gear change, and no auto-transmission torque-converter-drag nonsense. Setting off in slow traffic is all about resting your foot on the accelerator. Just like those big electric trains, you look out of the window and think, “Oh, we’re moving.")
•  
• 5.Waiting with heat and air. (it doesn't need an engine to make it go)
•  
• 6. Maintenance, or lack there of. (Annual service... “One, two, er, three, four. OK, sir, they’re all still attached and they all have plenty of tread left. Be on your way then.” - Tesla will actually come to your home)
•  
• 7. Cold weather warm up. (If you want to test out cold weather ‘EV’ life in a regular car, take a 4KW electric fan heater, put it in your car and turn it on. That’s what electric car heat is like: lovely.)
•  
• 8. They are not bothered by the cold.
•  
• 9. Silence. (The sound of a gas engine has all the charisma of a bunch of sweaty carpenters nailing up an outhouse. It doesn’t compare to the ‘Ooos’ and ‘Aaahs’ of spectators as the Tesla whispers past. It’s just...noise.)
•  
• 10. They were good in 1910 and they are still good today!
• 
  
• So that's just 10 reasons. Forget the enviornment. Forget our men and women in the armed forces fighting over in the desert. You may just like an electric vehicle cause it's nicer. The other stuff is all just a perk!
