As electric vehicle owners, we often field questions from EV-curious drivers, and some of them … let’s just say they highlight the low level of EV awareness among the general public. You may be tempted to respond to your Facebook-educated neighbors with smart-ass answers, but this is unlikely to promote wider EV adoption, so I implore you to answer them patiently and truthfully. With that said, the following imaginary discourse is for entertainment purposes only.
EV owner: Never need to think about it. When I get home in the evening, I plug in, and I have a full battery the next morning. When I’m on a long road trip, I plug into a fast charger, I visit the facilities, I have a cup of coffee, and I’m ready to roll.EV owner: Would you buy a car that wasn’t safe to use in the rain?EV-curious friend: Uh … I guess not.EV owner: Over 5 million.
EV-curious friend: Are EVs really green? I heard that EVs are actually worse for the environment than gas cars. And the media has, like, totally ignored this issue. EV owner: That’s actually a reasonable question. What you’re talking about is called the “long tailpipe” issue, and it’s been discussed extensively in both scientific journals and mainstream media outlets for the last decade. Everything we do has environmental consequences, and it’s true that producing cars, and generating the electricity that powers them, emits pollutants. Are you very knowledgeable about science?EV owner: I’ll explain it anyway.
