For the past year, this series has documented stories of Americans going electric, their carbon footprints shrinking with each new plug-in vehicle or appliance. Now, as we bring the series to a close, we turned to you, our climate-conscious readers, for your own stories about going electric. Dozens of you responded, sending us anecdotes and photos extolling your electric cars and lawn mowers, lauding your e-bikes, praising your heat pumps and raving about your induction stoves.
Here are your submissions by the numbers:
78 of you wrote in to tell us your stories of going electric
37 of those stories included an electric vehicle
34 included a heat pump
22 included an e-bike
20 included an induction stove
Watching these stories roll in was like a steady dopamine drip of evidence-based anecdotes showing our world becoming cleaner, greener and more efficient. So we wanted to share them with everyone. Scroll down to see the many ways that going electric has improved your lives –– and made the planet a better place to live.
