Good post Windy!
Perhaps it should be renamed ‘Please can I drive an EV?
Because , you are so right with regard to the quiet relaxed drive that you get with an EV compared to an ICE powered car – so much better!
Quote – ‘‘All this said even at my age I do like to leave boy racers hanging at the lights but that’s just me I guess’’ – sorry to disappoint you, but you are not ‘unique??’, I love the shock on their faces as I ‘ leave them standing’ – good fun eh , probably the only fun at our/ my age?
Seriously, it is a different way of driving, much less strain on old bodies, making for a safer journey , but quick, & quiet, with instant acceleration, and economical , and usually with lots of good kit!
Enjoy.
