German Study Finds Electric Vehicles More Reliable Than Conventional Vehicles

A study conducted by the German automobile club Allgemeiner Deutscher Automobil-Club (ADAC) has found that battery electric vehicles (BEVs) are more resistant to breaking down compared to similarly aged internal combustion engine (ICE) cars. The ADAC study found that gas-powered vehicles typically suffer two and a half times more breakdowns than EVs, suggesting that electric cars are more reliable than traditional vehicles over the long term. ADAC maintains a database containing records of all the vehicle breakdowns handled by the association’s “Yellow Angel” service responders. This database has expanded significantly year after year, allowing for an in-depth analysis of breakdown…

Study Shows Switching to EVs Could Slash Childhood Asthma Prevalence

A recent University of Toronto study has found that replacing gas-powered vehicles with zero-emission electric vehicles (EVs) could significantly reduce the number of childhood asthma cases. The researchers concluded that replacing just 50% of all petrol and diesel cars with EVs could meaningfully cut asthma rates attributed to vehicle exhaust. Gas-powered cars, which burn fossil fuels, are a major source of both greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution. Exhaust fumes from these vehicles are linked to nearly one-third of all new childhood asthma cases each year. Previous studies have consistently shown that car exhaust poses a serious public health risk,…

The IRA provided both manufacturers and consumers with financial incentives to boost EV production and encourage the transition from fossil fuel-powered cars to EVs. These incentives have stimulated major investments in electric vehicle and EV battery manufacturing, positioning the U.S. as a leader in clean energy and creating…
