A while back I read about how heavy electric vehicles (EVs) are due to their batteries and how they would be harder on roads and that parking garages might buckle under the extra weight. It seemed to make sense at the time but while a friend of mine and I were munching on Skyline chili dogs one day at lunch I looked up the vehicle weight of my Infiniti QX60 and his Tesla Model Y and found that I had the heavier car, 4,519 pounds versus his 4,416. Given all the Ford F-150s, Chevy Silverados, and full-sized SUVs on the roads today, all of which weigh about the same or more than an EV, the roads and garages have already endured quite an increase and EVs are not likely to be some magical tipping point.
I guess freedom of the press includes to right to scare you for no good reason (except to generate revenue).
