While many car manufacturers, consumers, celebrities, politicians, and states have enthusiastically embraced the idea of replacing internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles with electric vehicles (EVs), there are some aspects of EVs that need to be considered.
EVs are not a new concept. In 1898, Ferdinand Porsche introduced the Egger-Lohner C.2 Phaeton, a fully electric car also known as the P1. Two years later, Porsche introduced the Semper Vivus, a hybrid car that featured an electric motor powered first by a battery, then by combustion engines that fed electrical-power generators.
