What if the apocalypse happened and every internal combustion engine on earth disappeared overnight? Would you still love cars? Could you learn to welcome your new electric-motor overlords? It's the big scary EV question for car enthusiasts. That's today on AFTER/DRIVE.
So how does one go about relearning how to love cars?
