EV myths busted: Are electric vehicles actually good for the environment?

Drive Electric

To answer these questions, we collaborated with Envirostrat to investigate some of the most common questions and concerns about the environmental impact that increased EV uptake will have on NZ, and in particular, how they really compare to ICEVs (internal combustion engine vehicles). In comparison, EV engines run on lithium batteries.
