Two neighbors have purchased electric cars recently. Now they are enjoying driving on electrons instead of molecules.
Last year at this time, there were two EVs in my community — both Teslas. I owned one and a neighbor next door owned the other. This year, there are four. A Cadillac Lyriq and a Hyundai Santa Fe PHEV have been added to the neighborhood. Statistically, that means the pace of electric car adoption has doubled in the past year.
The central focus of owning an electric car is charging it. JD told me at first he took it to the dealer to charge, but soon found out that wasn’t the ideal situation, since the dealer is several miles north and most of his driving takes him south. “So I did some research and found a few charging stations closer to home. It was a learning process, but I am satisfied with the outcome. I get about 330 miles with an 85% charge.
My first impression of the Hyundai Santa Fe is that it’s a good looking car — clean, uncluttered lines that will still be appealing many years later. Hyundai and Kia have some of the best stylists in the business. The interior is remarkably comfortable and has a luxurious feel to it, not unlike the Lyriq in many respects. The ride is supple and smooth and the sound of the powertrain — whether in electric or gasoline mode — is almost undetectable from inside.
