The electric age = the digital age
Author: Milos Zekovic
When we look at how electric cars have evolved over the last 10–15 years, it’s easy to draw a parallel with websites. Both used to be simple, limited, and “just enough to get the job done.” Today, both have become symbols of an entirely new era, one of speed, efficiency, and experience.

Then: functionality without emotion
Cars used to focus mainly on getting you from point A to point B. Fuel consumption and comfort were important, but little thought was given to software or “user experience.”
Websites started out as static pages with basic information, text, a few images, maybe a contact form. Nobody was thinking about load speed, mobile accessibility, or conversions.
Now: experience in the spotlight
Electric cars have changed the way we think about driving. No engine noise, no waiting at gas stations, everything connected with apps, maps, and over-the-air updates. Speed and simplicity have become the standard.
Websites today are no longer just business cards. They need to be fast, optimized, and accessible across all devices. Users expect pages to load in seconds, clear calls to action (buy, call, inquire), and an experience as smooth as pressing “start” in an electric car.
The electric age = the digital age
Electrification of cars and digital transformation of websites share the same denominator: a shift in user behavior. People no longer want just functionality; they want efficiency, speed, and the sense that everything is designed just for them.
That’s why today:
- A poorly optimized site is like an old diesel, it burns more than it gives back.
- A fast, modern site with good UX is like an electric car, silent, efficient, and ready for the future.
Conclusion
Electric cars have shown us that technology isn’t just about “getting the job done,” but about improving our experience and saving time. The same applies to websites. If your site isn’t fast, intuitive, and user-friendly, you risk being stuck in the past while your competitors drive the future.
Just like cars now update “over the air,” websites also need constant upgrades, design, content, SEO. A site that stands still is like a battery that never gets charged.
