Familiar Driving Rituals That Have Changed with Electric Vehicles

Electric vehicles (“EVs”) have revolutionized vehicular travel as we know it. After more than a century of dominating the roads, internal combustion engine (“ICE”) cars have found a worthy competitor in the silent but powerful EV. Several countries around the world have begun efforts to combat climate change by reducing their emissions, and this involves steadily replacing their ICE cars with zero-emission EVs. Electric vehicles draw power from massive battery packs rather than combustion engines, making for an interestingly different experience for drivers used to conventional cars.

For starters, forget about car keys because it’s all about key fobs, key cards and phone cards. While the switch from keys to no keys can be jarring, the benefit is that the new system is incredibly convenient. You won’t have to deal with keys cutting holes in your pocket or scratching your phone or, even worse, forgetting to carry them all together.

Another jarring change is turning the car on and off. ICE cars have an ignition key to turn the car on and off, but EVs are an entirely different story because they don’t have an engine that has to start or stop. They can be turned on by phones and key fobs instead.

Once the car is on, you will probably take a few seconds to set up some music for the road. In the old days, this would involve a cassette tape or CD or hooking up your phone with an aux cable depending on your vehicle’s age and radio. On the other hand, an electric vehicle will turn on and resume the music you were playing when you last left the car, all before you open the door. By the time you’re settling in your seat, the stereo will be playing your favorite tunes.

Starting an EV usually involves a key card, a key fob or an authenticated phone. With the Tesla app, your EV will unlock and start via Bluetooth as you approach it, completely negating the need for a car key. To lock your Tesla, just put it in park, exit and close the door behind you.

With the music set up in your old ICE car, you would then step on the brake and clutch, select the first gear, release the clutch, ease off the clutch, and take off. In the Model 3, all you have to do is press on the brake and put it into gear. If you aren’t using the phone key, you can place your key card on the console and put the car into gear to start moving.

As you can see, owning an electric car is an entirely different experience, from the little rituals you used to practice to how driving it feels and sounds. Seeing the difference firsthand will definitely leave an impression.

A lot more changes are likely to be ushered in by the switch to electric vehicles, especially as more companies such as Mullen Automotive Inc. (NASDAQ: MULN) join the sector and disrupt it.
