Me: GM says they are only going to make electric cars by 2035. When do you think you will consider buying an EV?
My friend Ben: Can you get one with a clutch and stick shift?
Given the power band achieved by DC electric motors, an EV with stick shift could be an amazing ride. ;)
I'll buy one when they build the requisite nuclear power plants.
I definitely want the stick shift!More seriously, I recommend Matthew Crawford's "Why We Drive."An excellent set of musings on the continued appeal of the internal combustion engine, and well articulated objections to the increasing connectivity of our cars.
