I’ver never been really interested in cars. I mean why should I? I almost spent my whole life living in a big city with a fine infrastructure. I’m madly in love with the subway line U3 here in Hamburg and I literally spent my teenager times dreaming and dreaming while riding the tube from A to B.
I remember once I told my Dad I will never ever get a drivers license. Back then I thought it was cool not to have one and I only changed my mind when I was 25 years old.
Since then, lots changed and I do enjoy driving around in a sexy car from time to time. So I was especially happy when BMW was so kind to offer theirnew i3to me and my Broffice Fabian Hart– to cruise around with and enjoy for some time. The i3 is an electrically powered car and I wasn't sure at first how different that would really be.
After a short time of driving it, I was like – Uhh how smooth is that? Somehow I felt like a good person, some sort of double vegan. The car itself is so quiet and I enjoyed riding it a lot, even tho the battery lasted for not longer than 130km, which was fun because Fabian and I went on an energy trip to experience its efficiency to the fullest.

Our good energy day was packed with power activities like visiting the renewable power house bunker in Wilhlemsburg. In case you haven’t been there yet, they have a beautiful rooftop terrace cafe with a breathtaking view over Hamburg. Then we went to a new vegan food place in town called Monkey Deli.The place is heavenly good and everything on the menu is homemade. I had a cucumber soup with dill and freshly baked ciabatta – so good!
Last but not least we decided to drive to the restaurant‘Altes Land’ because of their excellent approach to food and ingredients. For instant they serve you only slow food from the immediate Hinterland. Fabian and I had a delicious Menu with 'Forgotten Herbs' like nettle.
On our way back home we almost ran out of energy, luckily there a lot of power stations here in Hamburg. No doubt you won’t get bored with an e-car, as you have to think about your consumption. But changing our consciousness ain’t that bad tho. Future. Now. Let’s do this.
