Common Electric Vehicle Myths VS. reality
| MYTH | REALITY |
|---|---|
| EVs have limited range. | Many modern EVs offer ranges exceeding 250 miles on a single charge, suitable for daily commutes and longer trips. |
| EVs are too expensive. | Prices are decreasing, and when factoring in fuel and maintenance savings, the total cost of ownership can be lower than traditional vehicles. Tax incentives and rebates are also available. |
| Charging an EV is inconvenient. | Home charging is readily available, public charging infrastructure is growing, and charging times are decreasing with advances in technology. |
| Batteries need frequent replacement. | EV batteries are designed to last, with warranties often covering 8 years or 100,000 miles. |
| EVs are not environmentally friendly. | While battery production has environmental impacts, EVs produce significantly fewer emissions over their lifespan compared to gasoline cars, especially when charged with renewable energy sources. |
