Busting EV Myths/ True or False EV Edition

Myth 1 They dont help to reduce pollution

• The biggest argument by far is that the EV, which
  is advertised as being powered by electricity, is
  powered by coal as coal is what helps in
  providing electricity, to begin with.
• Now while that may be true, the amount of power
  required to generate electricity to charge an EV
  is, in fact, far less than what it takes to power
  a conventional fuel-powered vehicle. So, if you
  plan to take a 100 km trip in your EV, the amount
  of pollution it will cause to charge the vehicle
  will cause an insignificant impact. Hence, EVs do
  help to reduce pollution levels by way of its
  charging and zero emissions.

Myth 2 Recycling the battery is an issue

• Todays EVs today are powered by Lithium-ion
  batteries, which are, by far, the most efficient
  option currently availaTodays EVs today are
  powered by Lithium-ion batteries, which are, by
  far, the most efficient option currently
  available to automakers. While the name might
  imply that lithium is the primary component of
  the battery, it actually makes up only 5-7 of
  the batterys constituents. The more prominently
  used materials are nickel and cobalt, which are
  easier and inexpensive to recycle.
• Furthermore, there are plenty of reusable
  components in lithium-ion batteries that can be
  used to power other sources and can be used in
  other applications once a battery has finished
  powering a vehicle. MG Motor, in fact, has
  partnered with UMICORE a company that ensures
  batteries are safely discarded without any
  ecological damage. The brand also ensures that
  batteries get a second-life in the form of
  powering inverters and other devices, in a better
  waste management effort.

Myth 3- EVs are an expensive purchase 

• Did you know that the cost of electric vehicle
  batteries today is almost 80 lower than their
  price in 2009?
• If you factor in the fast-evolving battery tech,
  they are likely to become even cheaper in the
  future. Hence, EVs today are competing with
  prices of regular fuel cars and are no longer an
  option that is only accessible to a few.
  Furthermore, once you have made the initial
  investment, the running cost of an EV is
  1/5th that of a conventional vehicle. This ends
  up making it both environmentally friendly and
  cost-efficient in the long run.

Myth 4- Charging at home causes high electricity
bills

• Just like a fuel car runs on petrol or diesel, an
  EV is dependant on charging its battery to run.
  Electric cars like the MG ZS EV, offer a range of
  340 km on a single charge which means an average
  user would only need to charge their car only
  once or twice in a week and still be able to use
  it daily. 
• Today, you also have options to charge your car
  in places other than your home. For instance, MG
  Motor dealerships offer a DC fast charging option
  that lets you charge your car up to 80 in about
  30 to 40 minutes. All you need to do is find a
  dealership near you that provides this service,
  and you can do that with your MG app!

Myth 5- Lower performance compared to
conventional cars

• EVs have an (unfounded) reputation of being
  focused on the environment and failing to provide
  its owners with the best driving experience.
  However, it is only a misconception that EVs
  arent quick or dont perform as well. One of the
  most significant advantages an EV has over
  standard cars is the instantaneous response.
  Power is available at all times in an EV, and you
  just need to flex your right foot to deploy all
  of the torque. 
• Furthermore, EV models, like the MG ZS EV, have
  the distinct advantage of being smart cars that
  can be synced with your mobile and controlled
  remotely. Thats right they go above and beyond
  your expectations to boost your driving
  experience.
• While switching to an EV would certainly be
  considered a big move, being informed on the
  subject will come in handy if you or a loved one
  wants to ChangeWhatYouCan for the world. To know
  more about the MG ZS EVs features.
