Awareness, Tennessee EV Stories

Young and Hopeful: A Q&A with 14-year-old Noah Mills

Noah Mills, a 14-year-old electric vehicle (EV) supporter, has a clear vision about the importance of EVs. So much so that he is already investing.

Noah Mills is 14 years old and is rather fond of EVs as he is of his five animals including Stormy, his cat.

Q: Can you tell us a little bit about yourself?

A: “I’m in middle school in East Tennessee. I enjoy going on hikes and playing video games during my free time. I am very fond of electric vehicles and like to keep up with them. I have a total of five animals living at my house – three cats, one dog and one chicken named ‘Doodle.'”

Q: What kind of EV do you drive?

A: “Well, I’m 14, so I’m not driving yet, although I’d like a blue Tesla Model S because of its sleek beautiful design. I’d call her Abby.”

Abby – Noah’s dog. Noah’s future Tesla would be named after Abby in loving memory.

Q: Why would you call your Tesla “Abby”?

A: “Abby was my dog friend. She was sleek and beautiful. I have good memories of her.”

Q: It sounds like you like animals. Would you consider giving all of your pets a test drive in your future Tesla Model S?

A: “Sure.”

Q: Even “Doodle” – the chicken?

My name is Doodle and, cluck, Noah has promised me a ride in his Tesla.

A:  Yes, especially Doodle! She has never been in a car.”

Q: If you could design an EV, what would you like to see produced?

A: “I would like to see an EV with a better battery, a nice design on the outside and a cozy inside.”

Q: When did your interest in EVs begin?

A: “A couple of years ago. I kept hearing more and more about EVs, so I decided to take a look at them.”

Q: I heard that you had asked for a unique Christmas gift in 2019. Can you tell us more?

A: “I asked for some Tesla stock as a Christmas gift in 2019.”

Q: Do you have any regrets about asking for this kind of Christmas gift and do you have any advice about buying EV stocks?

A: “I do not have any regrets about it. The Tesla stock has risen so much since I bought some. My advice is to do your research about the company that you want to invest in and think about the company’s future. I have a stock broker that has good experience.”

Q: Why do you think EVs are important?

A: “EVs are important because, in this century alone, humans have done so much damage to the earth. EVs are one step forward to a cleaner and healthier earth.”

Q: What is the most exciting feature about EVs?

A: “EVs do not require gas!”
