3 Facts About Electric Vehicles Nobody Talks About.
If you’re like me, you like the idea of an Electric Vehicle (EV). The technology involved solves both minor and major irritations/problems of internal combustion engines (ICE) including (but not limited to):
- no terrible fuel smell in garages
- no getting your hands dirty
- no cold starts on frigid mornings; and
- no more taking it to a mechanic for repairs.
OK you’ll have to take an electric vehicle for repairs, but still. An EV also has that curb appeal the way a Mac did to a PC in the late 90s: they’re just cooler.
But that’s not to say EVs are not without their flaws.

Below are three underrated facts about EVs that we should think about as more of us start ditching the ICE and plug into an Electric.
