I just spent my first week ever with an EV, the Chevy Equinox — here’s what it was like

Quick Summary:

This was in 2011, back when Elon Musk’s EV company was courting press instead of denigrating us, and they offered me a test drive.

The funnest car I ever drove was the original Tesla Roadster.

I took the car up I-280 — a beautiful, mostly deserted highway with perfectly banked curves that seemed designed for Silicon Valley types to test out their speedmobiles — and was blown away by its responsive acceleration and the ease with which it handled at 120 miles per hour.(Er, did I say 120? I meant 70.Yeah.
