THIS PITCHED EMAIL WAS FULL OF EV MISINFORMATION!

EV Channels Review

This video critically dissects a PR-generated email filled with misinformation about electric vehicles, sourced from NerdWallet. The presenter meticulously debunks claims regarding EV charging costs, range anxiety, and the mechanics of running out of charge or pushing an EV. Key points of contention include the assertion that EV charging costs have "risen sharply" without comparing them to soaring petrol prices, the ease of running out of charge (contrasted with the presenter's decades of EV experience), and fundamentally incorrect explanations of how EV motors work and how batteries can be recharged by pushing or towing. The video highlights that pushing an EV does not recharge its batteries and that modern EVs have sophisticated range estimators. It concludes that the "expert" from NerdWallet lacks genuine EV knowledge, leading to the spread of potentially harmful misinformation. The presenter urges companies to use actual experts and avoid such factual errors.
