When I got a used EV, the first thing I noticed what that it didn't smell. When I was getting in or out, there was no whiff of exhaust because someone opened the door. There was no gas drip on the side of the vehicle because of fueling, or oil drips or burning oil smell (yes all my cars have always been shit).

Its just.. cleaner. Like basically, physically cleaner.

I can kind of relate, one of the nicest smells for me is walking into a used bike place and smelling all the 2-stroke. Heaven - now I ride EV I'd never go back but I think that's an age thing too
