EVs: 1000 reasons why: No. 2

OK, here's another in my occasional series of reasons why you should drive an electric car:

No. 2: The smiles.

You know the way nobody lets the Porsche driver out of the side road on to the main road? Or the look of pity the 4x4 drivers get as they cruise down the Kings Road in Chelsea? Well the exact opposite happens when you drive an electric car. Other motorists smile at you, in fact just about everybody smiles at you. And when you are parking, they stop and talk to you! Now here in the UK that is a pretty weird and wonderful thing, strangers smiling and saying hello. Makes you feel good. Who would have thought?
