What’s bad about electric cars?
Face it; nothing is perfect. We’ve heard all the good about electric cars, but what’s bad about them?

You’re right; almost everything has a good and bad side. The main problem with electric cars involves their manufacturing processes.
The batteries in electric cars require a substantial amount of raw materials. These metals are mined and processed in a way that’s not so environmentally friendly. Many people have taken issue with these processes as manufacturer work to find a better solution.
- The range of an EV depends on its battery.
- The supporting charging infrastructure is weak.
- Battery repairs/replacements can be expensive.
- Low variety of options.
It’s good to know what the downsides are before making a decision when buying a car.
