I know it's become quite common, but I still think of it as a miracle of technology:

With our internal combustion engine car, someone on the other side of the world has to drill into the ground, often under the sea, pump the oil into a tanker that has to take it halfway around the world to a terminal where it is pumped into a pipeline that takes it halfway across the continent to a refinery where it has to be processed so that a truck can come and take it halfway across the country to a gas station where I can fill it up.

With our #EV, I just plug it in and charge it with energy that comes right off our roof. I can easily extend the range by 200 km on a sunny day. The energy transport distance: tens of thousands of km vs. 10 meters.
