- 1High-mileage electric cars found more reliable than petrol●High-mileage electric cars are more reliable than petrol ones, study finds
A new study reported by The Guardian finds that used electric cars with high mileage are more reliable than equivalent petrol vehicles, challenging a common assumption that EV batteries and motors wear out faster than combustion engines. The findings are being debated among drivers and industry watchers, with implications for the second-hand EV market and consumer confidence in electric mobility.
- 2300 Miles Of EV Range Is The New Normal, With 400 Next●300 Miles Of EV Range Is The New Normal. Is 400 Next?
Electric vehicles offering around 300 miles of range are now standard across the market, and industry commentary is turning to whether 400 miles becomes the next benchmark. The discussion reflects rapid battery improvements and growing consumer expectations, raising questions about cost, weight and charging infrastructure as automakers push range figures ever higher.
- 3EVs Are Cleaner Than Gas Cars, By How Much●Yes, EVs Really Are Cleaner Than Gas Cars. Here's By How Much
EVs are cleaner than gasoline cars over their lifetime, and new figures quantify by exactly how much. The accounting includes manufacturing emissions, notably battery production, as well as electricity generation, and still finds electric vehicles produce substantially less CO2 than comparable gas-powered cars. The numbers are fueling the ongoing debate over whether EVs genuinely deliver environmental benefits, a question that remains central to auto industry and climate policy discussions worldwide.
