Electric Cars: The Not-So-Green Reality
From declining sales to safety concerns, the reality is setting in: electric vehicles may not be the saviors we once hoped for.
In September of last year, I wrote an article shedding light on the dark side of electric vehicles.
Amid the glamorized media portrayal and the push for environmentally friendly alternatives, I looked into widely available data, which revealed a different story. Nearly a year later, the cracks in the electric vehicle “revolution” are becoming more difficult to ignore. From declining sales to safety concerns, the reality is setting in: electric vehicles may not be the saviors we once hoped for.
💡 Electric car charging stations use traditional energy sources because so-called green energy is neither green nor efficient.
The Broken Promises of Electric Cars
The primary appeal of electric vehicles stems from their promise of environmental sustainability. However, my previous article demonstrated how the production and disposal of lithium-ion batteries, combined with the carbon-intensive manufacturing processes, frequently outweigh any reductions in emissions during operation. Fast forward to today, and these issues have only grown more apparent.
The Cost of Ownership And Safety Concerns
Electric vehicle owners are being burdened with expensive trash. The deterioration of batteries reduces performance and range, making these vehicles unsuitable for long-distance and winter travel. This, combined with the limited availability of charging stations that use traditional energy sources and the time-consuming nature of charging, reduces the appeal of electric vehicles. It's no surprise that sales are dropping as customers become more aware of these flaws.
🔴 Let us not forget that the inherent fragility of lithium-ion batteries, as well as the challenges in containing fires caused by these power storage devices, have raised serious safety concerns. Take a look at my article on the subject as well.
Media Coverage
As I previously stated, the media is reluctant to cover these issues, but surprisingly, the Australian media outlet news.com.au recently published a critical piece echoing the concerns raised in earlier article.
Effectively worthless’: EV bubble bursts
The proverbial ‘arse’ has fallen out of the EV market, and it’s those who have already bought who are the biggest losers.
….
The sheer weight of electric cars, thanks to their batteries, means tyres and brakes wear down much faster – pumping more pollution into the atmosphere than a normal car.
Not to mention the fact that we still haven’t worked out how to recycle the heavy metal-laden batteries that power these vehicles.
So much for saving the planet.
Conclusion
The arguments against electric vehicles are becoming increasingly compelling. The environmental impact, coupled with high ownership costs and safety concerns, paints a bleak picture. As the hype surrounding electric vehicles fades, it becomes clear that we can no longer ignore the facts. It is time to reconsider our approach to sustainable transportation and explore alternatives that offer a more promising future.
As you can see, given my expertise in two major issues, the environment and medical biology, I can clearly give court testimony on both topics, and my articles can be used as evidence. However, due to my activism, I am unable to find a job where I can use my skills and be paid. Even so-called anti-narrative media are uninterested. I never get invited to interviews or meetings.
