I recently (2021/2022) sold my gas cars and bought two EV's. Though I kept my two motorcycles. I've been compiling my thoughts about how it's been so far, and realized I have compiled pages and pages of notes and those notes are all over the place. Just tons of little tiny differences to massive differences in the driving experience. I'd like to share that with this community in a useful way.

I'm not exactly an EV enthusiast, I've had a very long list of enthusiast cars/bikes and when I was young I used to race both autocross and quarter mile. So this basis is where my brain is at.

So my questions for everyone here:

What should I test/measure?
What do you want to know?
What data do you want to see (within reason, I'm not a data scientist)?

EDIT: You guys gave me a great list to start with. Some I'll need to start tracking my driving better so I can answer. I'll get back to you all.

I'm going to follow you so I'll see any data you happen to post. Thank you for thinking of this; the data is going to be very interesting!

Thanks, I downloaded my PGE electricity right after this post. It lets me go back to Jan 15, 2021 which is before I sold all my gas cars. I'm trying to see if I kept data for them. I threw the PGE data into a juypter notebook and did some quick visuals on it. It's pretty obvious when I switched to electric.

Here the rest of us are sitting obsessing about insurrection consequences, and there you are, out front to save the world! You're a good person, OP :)

Oh.... Don't get me wrong, the anxiety from that is, super high!
