The ranking of the three cars we've rented:
1. Nissan Leaf
2. Nissan Altima
3. Chevy Malibu
The Malibu feels awkward in the way that Soviet products were purported to be, according to American design culture.
Also, in addition to letting you skip gas stations and not fill the air with CO2, electric cars just feel way better. It's sort of like the way a web page with all sorts of overwrought React garbage tied to every event feels vs. just clicking on "normal" html pages. You don't know exactly what's going on in the former case, but you end up feeling like it's a lot every time you do something.
