FairCharge puts EV record straight with ‘go-to’ guide of truths
EV campaign group FairCharge has published a “definitive” guide to set straight most of the myths around electric vehicles.
Its Little Book of EV Myths aims to be a go-to guide that dispels 21 of the “most embedded, incorrect, EV misunderstandings” and lays down the facts.
Topics covered in the book include EV fires, pollution, electric car costs and range. The book also examines the mining of materials for EV batteries and the impact electric vehicles have on the UK grid.
Written in conjunction with the RAC, it’s supported by FullyCharged Live, Stop Burning Stuff, Charge Safe and RechargeUK.
FairCharge founder Quentin Willson said: “So many myths and misunderstandings have built up around EVs and electrification that we thought we’d publish a handy guide to help separate fact from fiction. Some of the more outrageous myths are actually putting private buyers off electric cars. Last week someone told me that they would never buy an EV because he’d heard that ‘old batteries are being thrown into the sea.”
