Nice try at a good old fashioned FUD post.
There is no history of EV batteries bursting into flames. There have been a couple of accidents where the battery was damaged and caught fire but they don't explode, there is lots of time to exit the vehicle. All in all it looks better than gas cars which catch fire with regularity and many people have been caught in them.
Maintenance is negligible on EVs, much less than regular gas cars. Aluminum car crash damage is not maintenance.
A Tesla Model S hits 300,000 miles in just 2 years – saving an estimated $60,000 on fuel and maintenance
One bad Tesla collision repair experience is NOT a reason to Avoid EVs. It seems like a lot of the problem was aluminum construction related. Model 3 is steel, and there are big companies selling EVs (See Chevy Bolt and soon, Everyone).[/QUOTE
Idon't buy that you 'save' 60000 on fuel and maintenance even at CDN gas prices I'd only burn 30G of fuel in that time and nowhere near 30G in maintenance on a Ford Flex , in two years span that would mostly be highway miles so my maintenance would be substantially lower
Hyped up EV article, I agree I don't see hydrogen cracked anytime soon either without a significant development, batteries getting incrementally better will beat it out
