"One of the really big myths about electric vehicles circulated on mainstream
and social media is that they are only good for short trips, or city driving.
No one in their right mind would take them on long journeys, or so the claim
goes.
Well, not really. One of the most authoritative reports on the EV industry,
from BloombergNEF, includes a fascinating graph highlighting how in many
countries EVs are driven far more than their fossil fuel counterparts.
And for good reason. EVs are more efficient – nearly all the energy created by
the burning of petrol or diesel is lost as waste heat – and EVs are cheaper to
run, because charging is cheaper and cleaner than topping up with liquid fuels,
and they require less maintenance."
