Myths and Facts about Electric Vehicles
« on: February 10, 2012, 01:22:54 PM »
We've seen articles (and videos) about this before, but it's always nice to have a current one in the chute when someone mouths off about EVs not being particularly good for the environment.

Summary:
CONSERVATIVE MEDIA OUTLETS ARE CAMPAIGNING AGAINST THE ELECTRIC CAR BY:

Denying That EVs Reduce Carbon Dioxide Emissions

Downplaying EV Sales

Misleading About EV Distance Range

Distorting Volt Safety

Feigning Concern About Battery Disposal

Spinning Consumer Tax Credits

Fearmongering About The Electric Grid

Overstating Subsidies For Volt
