I’ve been driving for almost two years and I started out with a petrol car. Last year I bought one of the new Peugeot 208’s which is a fully electric car, automatic and no nasty exhaust fumes. In fact it doesn’t smell at all except for inside the car which smells really sweet. I find petrol cars much too smelly. I have a heightened sense of smell and find petrol cars upset my sensitivity.
I like that electric cars are better for the environment. I know they aren’t 100% perfect but they are better for the environment more so than petrol is.
I like how quiet they are as well. A loud engine goes right through my ears and as a sufferer of both sensitive ears and tinnitus engines can be annoying at the best of times.
I like that they have a lot of helpful gadgets like cameras to help with reversing and parking. I like that they are automatic, easier to drive than manual. I like how the lights can come on automatically. When it comes to driving and being autistic I have so much to process and think about so the fact the car does a lot of things itself is perfect for me.
Now I’ve driven electric I won’t ever go back to petrol cars. My only negative with electric is that the battery has to be recharged which means I couldn’t go to say from Devon to Scotland without recharging which takes longer than topping up the tank with petrol. But other than that I think they are amazing!
