Thinking about switching to an electric vehicle but not sure what's true and what's hype? Our EV Myth-Busting guide cuts through the confusion, separating fact from fiction so you can make smart, confident decisions. From range anxiety to charging concerns, we tackle the most common misconceptions and show how modern EVs fit into real-world driving - especially here in Southern Oregon.


Range Anxiety? Think Again. Most EVs today go 250-350+ miles on a single charge. The average American drives just 40 miles per day. You're covered.

Cleaner Than You Think. EVs cut emissions by up to 70% over their lifetime-even when factoring in battery production.

Batteries Built to Last. Modern EV batteries often last 150,000+ miles, and many come with 8- to 10-year warranties.

Charging = Easy. Charge overnight at home or hit a fast charger for 80% in 30 minutes. Simple as plugging in your phone.

Chargers Are Everywhere. With 180,000+ public chargers and growing, you're rarely far from a plug. And most charging happens at home.

Weather Warrior. Yes, EV range dips in the cold-but so does gas mileage. Preconditioning and heat pumps keep you going.

The Grid Is Ready. EVs won't break the grid. Smart charging can actually help balance it.

EVs Are Not Boring. Instant torque. Silent speed. Some EVs do 0-60 in under 2 seconds. Buckle up.

Road Trips Welcome. With smart route planning and fast chargers, EVs are road-trip ready. Adventure is calling.

Cheaper in the Long Run. Less maintenance. Lower fuel costs. Tax incentives. EVs often save money over time.

Batteries Are Recyclable. Up to 90% of battery materials can be reused. Recycling tech is scaling fast.

Not a Fad-The Future. Automakers worldwide are going electric. EVs are here to stay.
