--- "No, Electric Vehicles won't impact the grid or overload it, debunking anti -electric vehicle myths."

This is a sales pitch, plain and simple. The website is for a company which places electric charging stations around some areas of Europe.

The site, virta.global was registered in 2016, and is in Paris, France. Among its article titles: "PUBLIC ELECTRIC CAR CHARGING STATIONS POWERED BY VIRTA ALL AROUND EUROPE/"

An assertion made on one page references Eurostat information, but that page on Eurostat does not exist.

Notice the same word play as "anti-electric vehicle" is found in "anti-vaxx" and other denialist pejoratives, as if there are but two positions, thereby closing down discussion. But the irony of this is the same architecture and rhetoric is found in all the "green" politics.

As Virta says, "Stay tuned as we debunk more EV charging myths."

Debunking by citing web pages that do not exist is marketing, plain and simple. And foolish, as part of the debunking suggests that your electric vehicle's battery will be elecrtric storage. For what purpose other than driving your car? Oh, storage. You can drain your EV to power your house. Or something.

"Demagoguery and logical fallacies are among the most easy elements to find nowadays." Indeed, and the Virta article does both albeit with a gentle hand. Demagoguery against petroleum and the logical fallacy the one form of energy is good and another bad.

Good analysis of some of the left’s verbal warfare tactics.
