Motorists Share Disadvantages of Switching from EVs Back to ICE Vehicles

Electric vehicles (“EVs”) are no longer niche products meant for car enthusiasts with extra cash to burn; ordinary drivers are increasingly ditching their gas-powered cars for battery EVs for a variety of reasons. Not only do they produce zero emissions at the tailpipe, making them perfect for drivers who are conscious of their carbon footprints, but they are also cheaper to “fuel” and maintain. On top of that, since EVs do not have an internal combustion engine (“ICE”), they present a completely different driving experience, including smooth, quiet rides and much faster acceleration compared to conventional ICE cars. As such,…

As industry stakeholders strive to rectify this issue, wireless charging is emerging as a possible solution to the charging problem that currently plagues the EV sector. This type of charging eliminates the need for cables and transfers energy via the air to induction charging kits…
