You Need A New Car? Go Electric! It’s Superior Technology! Part 1

Your car is getting “long in tooth,” or maybe your daughter is going away to college and you are giving her your car. Whatever the reason, you are looking for another car. It could be new, it could be used: don’t even look at gas cars, electric cars are superior technology!

The wheels on every railroad locomotive in the world are driven by electric motors. All the busiest rail routes in Europe and China are pure electric, including high-speed rail. 98% of new cars in Norway are electric, over 80% of new cars in Denmark are electric. In China, the country with the largest sales of new cars in the world, the percentage of new electric cars in September 2026 was 67%. 82% of the operating bus fleet in China is electric. Even ships and airplanes are going electric. The data is unequivocal: electric propulsion is superior to internal combustion propulsion. Only the huge political contributions to Trump by the fossil fuel industry and his resulting anti-EV policies have slowed down adoption in this country.

In places we’ve been like California; Portland, Oregon; and northern Utah, you are seeing a lot of Teslas, so you know that electric cars are working for a lot of people these days. It’s time for you to do some research on electric cars.

You do pay a premium for new electric cars, because the batteries are still quite expensive. If price is the driving factor for you, buy a used electric car. Hardly any used EVs are high mileage, and EV batteries still have plenty of life even after they go off warranty at 8 years and 120,000 miles.
