The really nice thing about EV is no fumes in the garage leaking into the house after starting.

Imagine how much cleaner the cities would be and how quiet the suburbs and cities would be.

Over the course of a decade and a half our light beige stone wall facing the street has that 'city soot' pattern. Gives it a bit of character.

 

 

Be nice though to not have to clean the particulate buildup on windows as much and not have the fresh smell of exhaust when walking the streets.

Just another reason why we live rural, I really notice the fumes when I go into town - they're disgusting. Gotta have the air con on recirculate when I'm in the city.

MikeB4: I often think it would great to have such cars as the XY Falcon, HK Holden Monaro, Ford Capri, Triumph Stag etc as EVs with modern equipment. I believe they would sell.

 

 

 

These guys are on track for the future of classic cars

Are grills on cars inherently aesthetically pleasing, or are we just so used to them their absence on many EVs is odd?

For some makes they are almost a logo. But generally I feel they are ugly. I also think the number plate in the front looks ugly.
