Electric vehicles (EVs) are not as environmentally friendly or cost-effective as claimed by the left. A report by The U.K. Telegraph reveals that EVs cause twice as much road wear as gas-powered cars, resulting in more potholes, cracks, and degradation.

The need for heavy metals, lithium, and increased production of electricity also raise environmental concerns. Despite hopes for EVs, sales are not as high as anticipated and manufacturers are struggling with the technology.
