There’s a huge difference in EV acceptance between the USA & Europe. I don’t know how good the EVs are in Europe, but in the US, there is a huge difference in quality.
Huge difference in quality of EV vs ICE or EV vs EV?
The first EVs were crap, battery degradation and slow charging meant driving an EV was a PITA.
The technical development the last 5-10 years have been staggering, unfortunately the impression from Gen 1 EVs are lingering in people’s minds as we’re approaching gen 5 vehicles.
Take battery replacements as an example. Having to change batteries on the newest generation of EVs are almost unheard of, like changing the engine on a brand new ICE. It happens very rare on every million car or so, and usually it’s enough to swap the bad cell(s) for the battery pack to function correctly.
There are 100s of myths surrounding EVs, and this site’s spreading all of them with no second thoughts.
Check some of the stories here on GAW. There are so many people citing charging issues and the high cost of battery replacement or the problems of small damage to batteries. These complaints are also not limited to our site.
These stories are made by people that have never driven or owned a BEV.
Battery replacement is a non issue on modern BEVs.
The clientele here on GAW looks at ourselves as awakened and enlightened, but when it comes to BEV (and a few other issues) many are heavily influenced by their confirmation bias.
Sorry, BEV is an EV with batteries, so a BEV is always an EV, but an EV is not necessarily always a BEV if it’s fueled with hydrogen or another fuel cell technology.
Here in EU hydrogen EVa are almost non existent, so we use BEV and EV interchangeable, sorry about the confusion.
Here in the USA, they are using Lithium Batteries and there have been all kinds of problems involving damage, fires, inability to function in cold weather, low range and high replacement costs.
I'm designing a conversion kit for electric cars that will increase efficiency by allowing them to burn coal directly. This will eliminate the E losses that occurs when you convert to electricity, losses during transmission, and losses at the motor. I'm going to market it as free range organic earth power.

This is how I imagine horse people in the early 1900s thought about automobiles.
This site is genuinely retarded sometimes.
Do you anti EV-people really think that ICE cars are more efficient energy-wise?
That the heat and noise that comes with combustion engines are “energy cost free”?

You’ll have to enlighten me. I have not heard of any conversation about BEVs here in the US. What’s the difference between an EV and a BEV?
