Another common misconception amongst potential buyers centers around the time it takes to recharge an EV. As energy production from renewable sources typically varies by day or season, EVs offer another advantage. Is EV charging fast enough? Another question focuses on the environmental friendliness of the EV production process.

Renewables increase from 13% of the mix today to 18% in 2035; the growth in renewables is underpinned by subsidies that rise from $64 billion in 2010 to $250 billion in 2035, support that in some cases cannot be taken for granted in an age of increasing fiscal austerity. But given the increased uncertainty, that could change.
