Bill Williams, a Chicago real estate developer, was an initial adopter of the electric vehicles, renting a Tesla Model S until later upgrading to a Porsche Taycan, the company’s first electric vehicle.
He claimed one of the main reasons he wanted to drive an electric car, or EV, was because of the technological novelty, but there was another purpose: “I wouldn’t call myself an environmentalist, yet I do worry about the earth and care about its future. So, if it isn’t too late, I would like to contribute to the answer.”
However, getting more Americans to switch from internal combustion engines to cleaner, battery-powered automobiles is a more difficult task.
