I am right there with you
I am right there with you John. My husband and I are 62 and 59 years old respectively. We own a 1988 Z52 Corvette, a 1991 Corvette and a 1968 Mustang Fastback. My Dad was a shade tree mechanic and I have been raised around cars. I appreciate the roar of a V8 and I enjoy driving a stick shift. Our cars aren't just a way to get to work and back home. They are something we enjoy driving. We love the roar of an ICE engine and the unique design of these iconic cars. We too plan on driving these "til death do us part.". I want to do my part to heal our world but driving a "sewing machine" does not appeal to me either. Also, my biggest concern regarding an electric car is...are we prepared for the waste from those vehicles when their batteries wear out? I understand that the life span of those batteries is approximately 10 years. We already have concerns regarding the small lithium batteries from our cell phones. The lithium-ion battery from an electric car is much larger and are not considered very recyclable. These too can pollute the land, air and oceans if not properly disposed of. Car manufacturers are rushing to make electric vehicles but no one seems to be addressing what should be done with the waste from these much larger batteries. I feel we should have recycling and waste solutions in place BEFORE we all jump into an all electric future. Until this concern is addressed, I am not interested in an electric vehicle. Give me my muscle cars and gas driven trucks.
