Some people believe EVs are the ticket to a bright new future, while others feel the technology will cause countless problems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regardless of which side of the fence you&rsquo;re on, it&rsquo;s a good idea to clear up some of the common misconceptions regarding EVs. That way, you can be better informed and better prepared for the future of transportation.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. EVs are Worse for the Environment than Traditional Vehicles <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the main misconceptions about EVs is that they&rsquo;re worse for the environment than traditional models. This assumption is based primarily on the fact that much of the electricity in the United States is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eia.gov\/tools\/faqs\/faq.php?id=427&amp;t=3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" aria-label=\"generated by non-renewable fossil fuels\">generated by non-renewable fossil fuels<\/a>, including natural gas, coal, and petroleum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.epa.gov\/greenvehicles\/electric-vehicle-myths#Myth1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" aria-label=\"Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)\">Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)<\/a>, EVs have a smaller carbon footprint&mdash;despite the environmental costs associated with charging&mdash;compared to traditional models. Moreover, if the United States were to use more renewable energy sources (wind, solar, etc.), the environmental impact of EVs could be reduced even further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. The High-Voltage Battery Packs Degrade Quickly <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It&rsquo;s easy to see why many consumers expect EV battery packs to degrade quickly. After all, the 12-volt batteries found in traditional cars typically only last between three and five years. So, why wouldn&rsquo;t high-voltage EV batteries have a similar lifespan? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, for one, the chemistry is completely different between the two battery types. Nearly all EV high-voltage batteries use lithium-ion technology, whereas most 12-volt batteries rely on lead-acid chemistry. The lithium-ion batteries found in EVs tend to have a very long lifespan&mdash;much longer than traditional, 12-volt lead-acid batteries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Every EV battery sold in a car in the United States is covered under warranty for at least <a href=\"https:\/\/www.myev.com\/research\/ev-101\/how-long-should-an-electric-cars-battery-last\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" aria-label=\"8 years or 100,000 miles\">8 years or 100,000 miles<\/a>&mdash;and many live long beyond that coverage. Some studies estimate the average life of an EV battery to be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.myev.com\/research\/ev-101\/how-long-should-an-electric-cars-battery-last\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" aria-label=\"around 200,000 miles\">around 200,000 miles<\/a> (17 years if driven 12,000 miles annually).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/shutterstock_1297860037-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"shutterstock 1297860037\" class=\"wp-image-68136\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/shutterstock_1297860037-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/shutterstock_1297860037-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/shutterstock_1297860037-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/shutterstock_1297860037-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/shutterstock_1297860037-scaled.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/shutterstock_1297860037-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/shutterstock_1297860037-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><figcaption>Some studies estimate the average life of an EV battery to be around 200,000 miles (17 years if driven 12,000 miles annually).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. EVs Are Too Expensive<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In the beginning, consumers had only a handful of EVs to choose from, most of which were luxury vehicles from brands like Tesla and Fisker. But now, many different kinds of EVs are coming to market in nearly every price range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Certain models are also eligible for a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fueleconomy.gov\/feg\/taxevb.shtml\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" aria-label=\"federal tax credit of up to $7,500\">federal tax credit of up to $7,500<\/a> and possibly additional state and\/or local incentives. The Biden administration has also proposed legislation with a provision to offer a consumer credit of $7,500, plus <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxbusiness.com\/personal-finance\/biden-ev-tax-credit-state-of-the-union\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" aria-label=\"an additional $4,500\">an additional $4,500<\/a> on vehicles assembled in the United States by union workers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. The Driving Range is Extremely Limited <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When EVs first started hitting dealership showrooms about a decade ago, most had a rather limited range. For example, the 2011 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/nissan-leaf-battery-degradation-and-other-common-problems\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Nissan Leaf\">Nissan Leaf<\/a> had a maximum range of about 70 miles per charge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, now it&rsquo;s common for EVs&mdash;and we&rsquo;re not just talking about Tesla models&mdash;to travel 300 miles or more per charge. For example, the Kia EV6 has an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.caranddriver.com\/kia\/ev6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" aria-label=\"EPA-estimated range of 310 miles\">EPA-estimated range of 310 miles<\/a> for the high-end model, and the Lucid Air Touring has an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lucidmotors.com\/air\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" aria-label=\"EPA-estimated range of over 500 miles\">EPA-estimated range of over 500 miles<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/shutterstock_2115845192-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"shutterstock 2115845192\" class=\"wp-image-68148\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/shutterstock_2115845192-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/shutterstock_2115845192-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/shutterstock_2115845192-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/shutterstock_2115845192-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/shutterstock_2115845192-scaled.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/shutterstock_2115845192-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/shutterstock_2115845192-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><figcaption>It&rsquo;s now common for EVs to travel 300 miles or more per charge.  <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. The High-Voltage Battery Packs Often Explode and Catch Fire<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You might remember when Samsung recalled about a million of its Galaxy Note 7 phones because some were overheating and catching fire. Well, like cell phones, nearly all EVs use lithium-ion batteries, which makes some people worry that the cars might be prone to bursting into flames.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In reality, though, most experts agree that EVs are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.popsci.com\/story\/technology\/electric-vehicle-battery-tesla-fire\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" aria-label=\"less likely to catch fire than traditional vehicles\">less likely to catch fire than traditional vehicles<\/a>. EVs have complex battery management systems that are designed to keep temperature levels down and prevent thermal runaway. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, there are even safer battery chemistries, such as solid-state lithium-ion, set to debut in the near future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. All EVs are Slow and Boring<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In the past, the types of EVs available to consumers were rather limited. But now, automakers are coming out with a wide range of electric offerings, ranging from pickup trucks to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/web-stories\/dodge-electric-muscle-car\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"muscle cars\">muscle cars<\/a>. Soon, there will be an EV for nearly everyone, from the rancher who needs a truck to the enthusiast who wants to go fast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"358\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/shutterstock_1798455487-1024x358.jpg\" alt=\"shutterstock 1798455487\" class=\"wp-image-68153\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/shutterstock_1798455487-1024x358.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/shutterstock_1798455487-300x105.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/shutterstock_1798455487-768x269.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/shutterstock_1798455487-1536x537.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/shutterstock_1798455487-scaled.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/shutterstock_1798455487-150x52.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><figcaption> Automakers are coming out with a wide range of electric offerings, ranging from pickup trucks to muscle cars. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7.

Most EVs Take Forever to Charge<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>With each model year, more vehicles are coming with fast-charging capabilities. For example, the Hummer EV has an 800-volt electrical architecture with a 350-kilowatt fast-charging capacity. The setup allows the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/web-stories\/gmc-hummer-ev-suv-facts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"SUV\">SUV<\/a> to add 100 miles of range in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.caranddriver.com\/gmc\/hummer-ev\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" aria-label=\"just 10 minutes\">just 10 minutes<\/a>on a suitable DC fast charger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These cars with fast-charging capabilities are being complemented by a greater number of DC fast chargers rated at 300 kilowatts or more. In the past, most DC fast chargers were of the slower, 50-kilowatt variety. However, one study found that during the first quarter of 2021, <a href=\"https:\/\/insideevs.com\/news\/545064\/us-shifts-away-from-50kw\/#:~:text=The%20Department%20of%20Energy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" aria-label=\"one in ten DC fast chargers\">one in ten DC fast chargers<\/a> was rated at more than 300 kilowatts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/shutterstock_1621282165-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"shutterstock 1621282165\" class=\"wp-image-68198\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/shutterstock_1621282165-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/shutterstock_1621282165-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/shutterstock_1621282165-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/shutterstock_1621282165-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/shutterstock_1621282165-scaled.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/shutterstock_1621282165-150x84.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><figcaption> With each model year, more vehicles are coming with fast-charging capabilities.  <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9. The Power Grid Won&rsquo;t be Able to Support the Growing Number of EVs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While you might think that the power grid can&rsquo;t possibly support the growing number of EVs, most <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2021\/01\/29\/climate\/gm-electric-cars-power-grid.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" aria-label=\"experts agree that the grid will be just fine\">experts agree that the grid will be just fine<\/a>. Because EVs won&rsquo;t all be charging at the same time, the additional demand on the grid will be manageable with the right planning. Example strategies include incentivizing off-peak time charging and making peak charging more expensive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">10. There Isn&rsquo;t Enough Lithium to Support EVs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>These days, lithium is a hot commodity because it&rsquo;s used in everything from cell phones to laptops&mdash;and (of course) EV batteries. That makes some skeptics question whether there&rsquo;s enough of the coveted metal to go around.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fortunately, research indicates that even if there was zero battery recycling and nearly everyone bought an EV, there would still be enough lithium for EV production for the <a href=\"https:\/\/auto.howstuffworks.com\/myths-electic-cars-vehicles.htm#pt3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" aria-label=\"next 75 years\">next 75 years<\/a>. Plus, it&rsquo;s expected that most EV batteries will be rebuilt or recycled to reduce the need for fresh lithium. New lithium extraction sites are also on the horizon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/shutterstock_744766768-1024x640.jpg\" alt=\"shutterstock 744766768\" class=\"wp-image-68200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/shutterstock_744766768-1024x640.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/shutterstock_744766768-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/shutterstock_744766768-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/shutterstock_744766768-1536x960.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/shutterstock_744766768-scaled.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/shutterstock_744766768-150x94.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><figcaption>Research indicates that even if there was zero battery recycling and nearly everyone bought an EV, there would still be enough lithium for EV production for the next 75 years with existing mining sites.  <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where to Get a New Headlight for Your Vehicle<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Like any other vehicle, EVs can develop issues with various parts, such as headlights.
