Here are other additional concerns with regard to EVs and why they will likely never work as a primary mode of transportation beyond mass transportation or urban centers:
1) Infrastructure problems and trip planning if you want to get on the freeway, especially during the holidays. Leave your EV at home and rent an ICE car.
2) EVs are damaging to the environment - Lithium batteries are not re-recyclable on a large scale, but attempts are being made to do so, so this may get better over time.
3) Expensive and difficult to repair - If you own an electric car, you can forget going to your local shop or fixing it inexpensively. Regardless of the type and the model, all-electric vehicles require specific maintenance and service procedures as well as extremely high safety standards. Shade tree mechanics need not apply.
4) Very dangerous fire hazard OR might kill a first responder - Servicing electric cars can be quite dangerous because most of the car’s mechanics consist of battery packs under high voltage. Also, in case of a fire, you can’t just put it out with water. You have to use a special fire extinguisher since the batteries burn at a much higher temperature.
Battery packs can burn for
DAYS or can re-ignite on fire days later.
"High-voltage batteries can give electric shocks that can kill responders if touched" :
Because of the way electric vehicle fires burn first responders are endangering themselves. The high-voltage lithium-ion battery fires can’t be
