DRIVERS have been issued an urgent warning regarding serious problems with electric cars despite their soaring popularity.
Electric vehicle technology is improving at a rapid pace, with a wider choice of cars and advancements in overall range, battery efficiency and public charging availability.
It's seen sales of electric cars become increasingly popular across the globe.
The latest figures released by the International Energy Agency (IEA) suggest almost one-in-five new cars sold worldwide this year will be either full battery electric or plug-in hybrid models.
In total, 14 million EVs are expected to be sold this year, up from around a million in 2017.
But although electrification of the global vehicle fleet brings less pollution, there is also cause for concern.
EV's are by no means perfect and there are some issues which appear to be putting a real dampener on increasing sales, reports NewScientist.
SUVs have been growing in popularity in recent years, accounting for 42 per cent of all car sales in 2020.
And electric SUVs have also gained ground, representing roughly 35 per cent of electric passenger car sales in 2022.

WITH a huge bulbous cabin, massive sweeping wings and enough space for 755 passengers - it's clear to see why this concept plane is dubbed the "Sky Whale".
Boarding the aircraft ahead of a long haul flight, you would find three huge decks with up to five rows of seats - including a lavish top floor business class complete with "sky view" roof windows.
And when it comes time to take off, long gone are the days of waiting to taxi down the long runways at airports like Gatwick and Heathrow.
Instead, the enormous AWWA Sky Whale lumbers itself into position before its massive engines pivot at a 45 degree angle like a Harrier jump jet fighter plane.
It then begins to move and the swivelled engines boost forward, allowing the mammoth machine to take off at a near vertical climb.
And this incredible feature allows to Sky Whale to not be restricted to big airports, with it only need enough space for its 288 foot wingspan and 252 foot length. READ MORE...

However, a gardening expert has warned fellow enthusiasts to resist the temptation to give your lawn a trim during ''dry spells''.
Speaking to The Express, Kate Turner, a gardening expert from Miracle-Gro, revealed the most common mistakes and the ''worst thing to do'' when it comes to mowing.

“Also, if we’ve got dry spells like we’ve got at the moment, I’d stop mowing.
“Lift your mower blades up. The worst thing you can do is scalp your lawn because it looks horrible.
“That encourages weeds and moss to grow in your lawn.
“And don’t leave it for months and then give it a really good mow.
“Have a regular mowing routine and that just helps it thicken up.” READ MORE...
