I used to drive a fossil fuel car over 28 years, choking on petrol costs and diesel fumes, but I made the switch to an electric vehicle (EV) and never looked back. Forget HHO kits for cars—sell that old gas-guzzler, grab a new or cheap reliable second-hand EV, and join me in driving clean, cheap, and powerful. Don’t listen to the naysayers who cling to outdated engines. Here’s why I’m hooked on electric and why you should be too.
Save a Fortune, Especially in the City
Driving 1000km in my EV costs just €23—compare that to fossil fuels, which burn a hole in your wallet:
EV Efficiency: My EV uses 17 kWh per 100km, so 1000km takes 170 kWh. At €0.135 per kWh, that’s €22.95 (rounded to €23).
Petrol’s City Sting: In urban traffic, petrol cars average 10L/100km, needing 100 liters for 1000km. At €1.70 per liter, that’s €170—over seven times more!
Diesel’s No Bargain: Diesel cars use 7L/100km in the city, costing 70 liters × €1.70 = €119 for 1000km. That’s five times the price of electric.
I’m saving hundreds every month, and in Ireland’s pricey fuel market, the choice is obvious. EVs are the future of affordable driving.
Health First: No More Toxic Fumes
Fossil fuels aren’t just expensive—they’re dangerous:
Petrol’s Cancer Risk: Petrol contains benzene, a carcinogen that’s worse in city air, raising your risk of cancer over time.
Diesel’s Lung Hazard: Diesel spews NOx and tiny particulates, linked to asthma, heart disease, and thousands of premature deaths yearly.
My EV Advantage: Zero tailpipe emissions! I’m breathing cleaner air and keeping my family safe from toxic pollutants.
Since switching, I feel better knowing I’m not contributing to the smog that chokes our cities.
Electric Performance Blows Fossil Cars Away
My EV isn’t just green—it’s a thrill to drive. Electric motors deliver instant torque, rocketing me from 0 to 60 faster than any petrol or diesel car I’ve owned. In city traffic, regenerative braking slows me down without touching the brake pedal, recovering energy to extend my range. Combustion engines, with their clunky gears and wasteful brakes, can’t compete. Every drive feels like a joyride, and I’m not burning a drop of fuel.
Ignore the Haters, Embrace the Future
When I considered going electric, skeptics warned me about range, charging, or costs. They were wrong. My second-hand EV has plenty of range for daily trips, charging at home is dirt cheap, and maintenance is a breeze—no oil changes or exhaust repairs. Naysayers are stuck in the past, pushing gimmicks like HHO kits or defending fossil engines. I’ve lived the difference, and electric is hands-down better.
My Call to You: Go Electric, Drive Free
From my experience, I urge you to ditch fossil cars forever. Sell that petrol or diesel clunker and get a new or quality second-hand EV. You’ll save money, protect your health, and rediscover the joy of driving—all while helping the planet. In Ireland, where fuel prices punish drivers, EVs are a no-brainer. Join me in leaving benzene, NOx, and high fuel bills behind. The road to clean, electric driving is waiting—don’t let doubters hold you back!
