There are no fallacies in EV
JohnMcGrew>> here is where you are wrong.
Moving to EVs have no fallacies, just a misunderstanding here and there.
and an overzealous have-no-shame entrepreneurs that are trying to get rich on this new trend.
And will (and do) go overboard with promises that they can never keep.
Yes, EVs have been promoted as 100% environmentally good and sound, which is of course is not 100% correct.
but let us review a few thing here.
1. it is true that process of manufacturing EV is not 100% environmentally friendly.
BUT so is the process of manufacturing current IC vehicles .
Most manufacturing processes are the same for both types, things like all the parts , paint, wiring are mostly the same.
And will stay the same for some times to come. So no significant improvement is visible (right now)
Keep in mind however that due to significant differences between ICE driven car and EV, new designs and materials can be considered and used for EV that could possibly make the manufacturing of this vehicles more environmentally sound in the future.
The differences in weight distribution (lets us consider EV with in-weel motors ,as I think this is the best kind of design)
EV motor is lighter and with an in-weel design does not take up space in the car body allowing for more cargo space and passenger space in the cabin.
Since the car frame does not have to carry the weight of the engine, crash dynamics changes as there is no need to consider bulky and heavy hunk of metal going into passenger space during the crush the frame can be designed lighter but stronger
So over all weight of the car can be reduced.
2. second point that keeps coming up is the batteries.
Again, yes manufacturing the batteries is not very environmentally friendly.
But neither is manufacturing all those lead-acid batteries used in conventional cars today.
Along with all the liquids needed for proper operation of todays cars. (motor oil, transition oil, antifreeze etc. )
Going with EV eliminates a good portion of this chemicals.
EV motors do not need motor oil. They use more solid lubricant that does not need to changed as often as motor oil
Since there is no transmission, no transmission fluid is needed.
No antifreeze as electric motors use air cooling and heat sinks.
Now for the important things
