There are a lot of misconceptions about EVs out there. Here are 3 we see circulating most often.

MYTH 1: EVs don’t have enough range

• Reality: EVs don't go as long between charges as gas cars go between fill-ups, but they don’t have to. The average U.S. driver travels only 30 miles a day, well within the range of any EV, and those with long-range driving needs have their pick of EVs with 125+ miles of range.

MYTH 2: EVs aren't environmentally friendly because electricity comes from coal

• Reality: EVs cut greenhouse gas emissions in half, no matter how the energy used to charge them is produced. If you live in a state that produces most of its energy from renewable sources, you can reduce your emissions even more. EVs waste less of the energy they consume.

Wow an important milestone, also reduces Fed tax credit

Tesla hits 200,000 cars, meaning lower tax credit for buyers

"(Reuters) - Tesla Inc has delivered 200,000 electric cars to buyers in the United States, a spokesperson said on Thursday, meaning tax credits will now begin to be lowered, while rivals such as Mercedes-Benz, BMW AG and Audi AG will bring electric models to the market with a full tax credit in place.
