Acerca de esta escucha
I am a passionate driving enthusiast, fabricator, and talented racecar driver. I can't drive boring cars, I need a daily source of driving happiness. This book is my personal story of EV ownership to show that an EV can be fun, work for almost anyone, and it may be the best option for many. I am a middle-class guy with a family and a very active lifestyle. We purchased a new electric car in the low $20,000 price range. This car turned out to be one of the best decisions we have ever made for our finances, time management, and overall happiness. I share my personal experience with all the details of deciding on the purchase, driving attributes, cost of charging, winter driving, and maintenance costs. You will learn everything there is to know about owning and driving an electric vehicle, and learn how an EV can be fun, economical, and reliable.
This book is also a buyer's guide with information about all current new and used EVs currently for sale. I also reveal the EV models arriving soon, including the incredible electric trucks and electric SUVs coming soon. Other details include financial incentives, tax credits, and different electric car charging stations.
The last part of this book discusses our power supply and grid—ideas for now.
Driving is what I love; I am an old-school car guy, competitive racecar driver, and chassis engineer. I pay very close attention to design and detail. My Automotive love language is function and value. I love the feel of a well-made vehicle that functions well for its intended purpose. I am not your prototypical EV driver. But, after owning one for three years, I fell in love with it, here's why.

Take a look at the vehicle sitting in your driveway. It may be the last one you ever own. With an estimated 33 million fully autonomous cars and taxis projected to hit the road by 2040, an automotive renaissance is soon to be upon us. Personal car ownership currently costs the average sedan owner $9,000 annually. But car ownership may soon be a thing of the past.

The grid is an accident of history and of culture, in no way intrinsic to how we produce, deliver and consume electrical power. Yet this is the system the United States ended up with, a jerry-built structure now so rickety and near collapse that a strong wind or a hot day can bring it to a grinding halt. The grid is now under threat from a new source: renewable and variable energy, which puts stress on its logics as much as its components.

As quintessentially British as a plate of fish and chips or a British bulldog, the boxy, utilitarian Land Rover Defender has become an iconic part of what it is to be British. It is said that for more than half the world's population, the first car they ever saw was a Land Rover Defender. It mirrors many of our national traits, stiff upper-lipped and slightly eccentric.

Jeff Speck has dedicated his career to determining what makes cities thrive. And he has boiled it down to one key factor: walkability. The very idea of a modern metropolis evokes visions of bustling sidewalks, vital mass transit, and a vibrant, pedestrian-friendly urban core. But in the typical American city, the car is still king, and downtown is a place that’s easy to drive to but often not worth arriving at. Making walkability happen is relatively easy and cheap; seeing exactly what needs to be done is the trick.

In 2007, the X Prize Foundation announced that it would give $10 million to anyone who could build a safe, mass-producible car that could travel one hundred miles on the energy equivalent of a gallon of gas. The challenge attracted more than one hundred teams from all over the world, including dozens of amateurs. Many designed their cars entirely from scratch, rejecting decades of thinking about what a car should look like.

After decades of unchecked sprawl, more people than ever are moving back to the city. Dense urban living has been prescribed as a panacea for the environmental and resource crises of our time. But is it better or worse for our happiness? Are subways, sidewalks, and tower dwelling improvements on the car dependence of sprawl?

Once we were drivers, the open road alive with autonomy, adventure, danger, trust, and speed. Today we are as likely to be in the back seat of an Uber as behind the wheel ourselves. Tech giants are hurling us toward a shiny, happy "self-driving" future, selling utopia but equally keen to advertise to a captive audience strapped into another expensive device. Are we destined, then, to become passengers, not drivers? Why We Drive reveals that much more may be at stake than we might think.
