The Future is Now...Electric Vehicles and what they are teaching us about Change!

28 minutes

Karamel recently bought an EV (electric vehicle), specifically a Tesla, so we are talking about all things electric vehicles today and how they are promising to change the future. It is expected that the number of people in the United States driving EVs will drastically increase by 2030 (not even ten years away), so states are even making legislation in preparation for this change.

When it comes to change, though, there is almost always fear because change can be scary, so we also address some of the common fears around electric vehicles such as whether or not the vehicle will hold a charge on a long trip, how quickly the battery will disintegrate just like how a cell phone's battery does over time, how car insurance will change, and more. Change can be hard, and we may be resistant toward it at first, but it can also bring about positive change.
