    I bought an EV in November and everyone in my red state loves to ask me questions about it. Some start in a condescending place but most are genuinely interested in them.

        It’s a KIA EV9. Was the only one with a functional 3rd row that isn’t $80k+. I enjoy it so far.

        It’s the initial redneck response in my experience. They assume it’s slow, complicated, and unreliable. They usually want to sneak in a “you know you still power that thing with coal” comment as well. Even if they don’t say it you can see it in their eyes. I will usually mention my solar panels and offer to race them in their truck 😎
