EV Myth Busters

J_P · Mar 30, 2024

There is a lot of crap talked about EVs. A lot of disinformation. A lot of anxiety.

The Guardian Newspaper has been publishing a series of 'EV mythbuster' articles that are probably the best articles I have read concerning EV myths.

The whole series can be found here - EV mythbusters

Individual links (as of posting) are:

Do electric cars pose a greater fire risk than petrol or diesel vehicles?

How problematic is mineral mining for electric cars?

Is it right to be worried about getting stranded in an electric car?

Are electric cars too expensive to tempt motorists away from petrol and diesel vehicles?

Do electric cars really produce fewer carbon emissions than petrol or diesel vehicles?

Will hydrogen overtake batteries in the race for zero-emission cars?

Do electric cars have an air pollution problem?

Are electric cars too heavy for roads, bridges and car parks?

If you find the articles useful, please consider making a financial contribution (links at the bottom of each article). The Guardian is completely funded by its readers, no shady oligarchs in sight! They can only keep making these articles if ordinary people support the paper financially.

After posting this, I realised any follow up conversation could get pretty messy with so many different subjects.

I have therefore created a separate discussion for each article if you want to follow up.
