Myth Busting
Myth: Repairs are expensive.
Fact: EVs actually tend to have less moving parts than gas-powered vehicles which means less maintenance and no oil changes. EVs also offer regenerative braking where they convert the energy lost while braking back into stored energy that can be used later, so the brake systems are more efficient.
Myth: Charging takes too long.
Fact: Depending on the level of charging station available, your EV could be up to 80% charged in under 30 minutes. Most EV charging happens at home, but as the network of charging stations expands, it will become faster and more convenient to charge your vehicle no matter where you are.
Myth: EVs are too expensive.
