This is the sort of thing I see on Facebook all the time. Each one based on half truths and falsehoods.
Here’s the grid (or mine anyway) saying it will be fine: https://www.nationalgrid.com/stories/journey-to-net-zero/electric-vehicles-myths-misconceptions https://www.nationalgrid.com/stories/journey-to-net-zero/ele...
The privacy and hacking are not limited to EVs.
There is a ton of energy needed to make any vehicle. My EV has used almost 100% renewable energy since day 1 on off-peak rates on a special tariff. Here’s my normal grid for when I have to charge during the day: https://electricityproduction.uk/in/scotland/ https://electricityproduction.uk/in/scotland/
Slave labour? You mean for cobalt? LFP batteries don’t use cobalt. It will still be needed for some common parts in EVs and ICE cars. And of course for refining petroleum.
Electronic parts don’t last long? Not even sure what that means. Mechanical parts don’t last forever either.
Battery reuse is a thing. Battery recycling is a thing. LFP batteries get even more cycles than NMC.
Reduced range in winter? I’ll use 13% per day instead of 10%? My car will be preheated every morning with full range.
I have never seen a place I can’t park in the UK. We recently had a multi story car park burn down and everyone said it was an EV until a video came out of a burning diesel car that started it. There was also the ship that went on fire that everyone blamed on an EV until they recovered all of the EVs from a lower floor unharmed. I’m not surprised that some might believe the misinformation though.
