I really noticed the difference after I added the decals... it is funny to see people next to me in their cars, or on foot just looking at the car like at any other, then their brain reacts and they look again... sort of "did I read that right?" or "wait a minute, is THAT the electric car?" :shock:
But sometimes people stop me at the parking lots, recycling center, etc, asking how I like it; I just tell them that I love it, is quiet, smooth, takes me where I need to go and that I can go about 100 miles on $2 of electricity.
One time in a traffic jam on I-75, a young guy and his GF rolled down their window and asked if it was all electric; then, he said: "I'm so jealous right now"
Of course, most of the time, people get stuck on saying that "then after 90 miles you have to plug it in? for how long?" It is hard to make them understand that I "fill up" whenever I can, specially if there is a Walgreens next to where I'm going.
