Why the battle over electric cars is primed to take off
“In my district, … this is not playing well,” GOP Rep. Lisa McClain said. “And let’s be honest, Michigan is a very influential state for the upcoming election.”

There’s so much talk about electric cars about them being safe and whether they cause cancer.

Here is a video link on why you should not buy electric vehicles. He makes all the sense in the world 🌎 I would like to speak with a few electric car owners and gather their thoughts and insights about electric cars

Stories I hear about electric cars are very conflicting. Like a 180 degree difference. Certain news media Saya Electric cars cause cancer from radiation. They also claim battery life of electric cars is a few years and cost 30,000

I came to Denver during Christmas 🎄 weekend for partially business and visit family. My sister’s husband has an electric car. My brother in law Jeff told me the following.
Jeff had the Tesla for 3 years. He absolutely loves it
Takes 15 to 30 minutes to charge his car. Not had a single maintenance issue or complaint. 50,000 brand new. The EV drives 🚗 itself. He would highly recommend electric vehicles.

Electric vehicles (EVs) have emerged as the eco-friendly option compared to traditional vehicles powered by engine combustion. Let’s respond to the query at hand:
Electric Vehicle’s Current Position:
Growth and Innovative Features: The embrace of EVs has increased over the years. With that, manufacturers have launched new models with longer ranges, quicker charging, and heightened performance. On the consumer side, lowering production costs due to technological innovations has allowed great vehicle access.
Replacing Vehicle Batteries
Replacement Cost Estimation: Every car has its own varying battery replacement costs, so the make and model of the EV will also play an important part. Nonetheless, the average replacement cost lies between $5,000 and $15,000. For example, considering labor, a Tesla Three’s battery replacement would cost around $16,000. Moreover, considering the $50,000 you pointed out would be incorrect as these numbers are far lower.
Warranty of Coverage: Most EV manufacturers cover the cost of battery replacement for 8 years or as long as 100,000 miles, which will mitigate the worries about early replacement costs.
Battery Life and Maintenance
Time Duration: The batteries are programmed to last longer than the given vehicle warranty, which is great as it already means longevity if the vehicle is well cared for. Following the set charge management and maintenance of the battery, replacing it for a few years will not be required.
Electromagnetic Radiation Concerns:
Health Effects: Some EV-focused studies have analyzed the electromagnetic fields (EMFs) created by EV battery packs. Findings suggest that the EMF levels experienced inside EVs are relative to conventional vehicles and remain below international limits. For instance, it has been pointed out that the most pessimistic estimates of EMI within EVs do not interfere with human health.
Electric vehicles provide many advantages for both the user and the environment. These include lower running costs, less liability to the environment, and the growth of technology. When making the purchase of an EV, some batteries can be costly to replace, although this is not as often as people think and is quite overexaggerated. Also, EV batteries do not radiate as much harmful radiation as current research suggests.
If you are considering an EV, it is best to check the particular features of the models you are considering, the terms of warranty, or the manufacturers or dealerships to make the best decision according to your needs and preferences.
