Remember when people said electric cars were just for show?

Back in 2015, I was sure they were a fad that would fade. What changed my mind was seeing the numbers from my own city's power grid report last year. It showed a 30% drop in local transport emissions since 2018, and the main reason listed was the rise in EV registrations. Now my neighbor, who fixes old trucks for fun, just bought a used Nissan Leaf for his daily commute. Has anyone else had a moment where the data made a belief you held just fall apart?

Wow, I was totally in the "just a rich person's toy" camp for years. Then I saw how cheap the charging cost is compared to gas on my buddy's monthly bills. It's hard to argue with real savings like that.

Exactly, @noahjenkins, the savings really do add up fast.
