Obviously, it’s essential to avoid the worst consequences of climate change, but was there a specific book, event, or experience that catalyzed you?

That is one thing I don't get about the pushback on EVs. You can absolutely make your own electricity, you can't make your own gasoline or diesel. Yes, biodiesel is a thing and you can brew your own alcohol but that requires energy, time, and more or less single purpose equipment. Solar and an EV are more or less a single step and completely passive. You can even make the solar partially mobile if you wanted.
