How do you convince a gas car person to go electric?

I love my new electric car, but many of my friends remain naysayers or think it’s just a passing trend. Some of them even doubt an electric car’s ability to perform as well as a gas-powered car. How do you convince a gas-powered car person to go electric?

First of all, congrats on getting an
electric car
.
Many people are still skeptical of electric cars, but there are plenty of reasons to drive one. A few talking points you could use on your friends include:
  • Gas prices are higher than ever, and they’re much cheaper to fuel up than a gas-powered car.
  • The electric motor delivers powerful, almost instantaneous torque making them fun and exciting to drive.
  • The electric motor is extremely quiet compared to a gas-powered car.
  • They emit no tailpipe emissions, so you’ll never have to deal with the hassle of emissions testing again.
  • You’ll never need to get another oil change.
  • They’re becoming more mainstream, and thus getting more affordable.
