Electric Vehicle facts not fiction...

Evmythbusters provides factual, accurate, news and information about Electric Vehicles.

Helping cut through the FUD (Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt) around EV ownership and providing (we hope) a balanced view on all aspects posted.

For that balance – a significant part of our information is crowd sourced, provided by researchers, EV (and ICE) owners and drivers – hence the plural title Mythbusters – this is a team effort! All contributions are welcomed, either as post comments or material for posting.
