Electric vehicles (EVs) continue to stir debate, with plenty of contradicting information about their real-world performance and impact. Are EVs more carbon-intensive to produce than internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles? Is the upfront cost and long-term maintenance truly higher? What's the reality of driving an EV in extreme weather?
This engaging session will dive into the top myths vs. facts surrounding electric and hybrid vehicles. Using real-world data from  30,000+ EVs and PHEVs, we'll test the most common misconceptions. From battery degradation to the realities of range in cold or hot climates, this conversation will separate fact from fiction in an approachable, data-driven way.
Key topics will include:

Are EVs more carbon-intensive to produce than ICE vehicles?
What's the true cost of owning and driving an EV compared to traditional cars?
How well do EVs perform in extreme temperatures?
Do batteries degrade faster than expected, and what's the real impact on range?
What challenges do EV owners face in terms of charging infrastructure?
Are concerns about battery mineral production and human rights issues warranted?

After the curated discussion, the session will open up for  Q&A, giving you the opportunity to ask tough, data-focused questions on the future of EVs and hybrids. The conversation will continue in an extended moderated forum, where participants can dig deeper into real-world performance data, battery life, and more.
Whether you're curious about the environmental impact, ownership costs, or technological challenges of electric and hybrid vehicles, this session will provide valuable insights to help you navigate the evolving world of these vehicles.
