I recently test-drove a very fun, but quite unnecessary EV, from a small car manufacturer based in Canada.

Now, ignoring for the moment just how funky-looking and insanely exhilarating the ride in this #SOLOcar was, it made me almost forget that it's entirely 100% electric. Completely clean, no exhaust, 100% plug-in. It is clear the future is already here. And c'mon, this freaking thing practically looks like a space pod!
Which brings me to my actual topic at hand. Electric Vehicles. Teslas. Prius. Leaf. You know the brands. I want to know if any of my readers already own a plug-in vehicle. Please let me know below, because I am very curious, what was the process in getting a car charger placed into your home? Did you deal with any contractors? Work with any qualified electricians? Or are you a DIY kind of person, and was able to install a Level 1 or even Level 2 charger in your garage without any outside help. I want to know if having to charge your car versus filling up the gas tank has affected your driving habits, either positively or negatively.
And in case you like to know more about Electra Meccanica, I can recommend the salesperson that helped set me up for test-drive.
Cheers, have a Happy 4th, and always, live clean and sustainably.
