Zoomer's Are Pushing Parents To Buy EV Vehicles

It's hard to imagine a Zoomer that isn't concerned about where the world is heading. They've been exposed to the effects of global warming, watched repeated financial crises rock the world, and most recently, a virus that even with the best of handling by the world's superpowers it's turned out to be deadly and utterly damaging—let alone with poorly-executed political games. These issues aren't easy to tackle as a kid, but a survey has found children today are trying to address at least one of those issues by leveraging their influence on their parents, whom they want to buy hybrids or electric cars.

They are the future and look to it in ways their parents struggle to or never can. To my older generation when young it was expressed as "I don't want my parent's Oldsmobile."

Just finished converting my parent's '95 Buick Regal to electric. They couldn't be happier.

Been fighting with my folk's condo board to upgrade their electrical infrastructure so we can get an EV. The older gen do not want an assessment to accomplish it.

Just get a Model 3 with 270-353 miles of range and plug it into a normal outlet (~6 miles and hour). You don't really need fast charging at home if you have a lot of range. Heck I charge once per week at this point.

If there is no outlet at all, use chargepoint to find free chargers close to places you go normally like grocery stores, worst case can use the closest supercharger once a week or so.
