I see the electric car haters are out in full force on this one
Not sure it's possible to " hate" an inanimate object.
But EVs are extremely expensive, extremely heavy, have limited mileage, are very expensive indeed to insure, require an almighty amount of destructive mining to make the lithium batteries, which really are prone to thermal runaway if they catch fire.
They may be the choice for some, and that's fair enough. But in the round, they are anything but eco friendly, and the power still has to come from somewhere.
When I see Sunak, Starmer, Johnson and Milliband using them as their sole means of transport, I'll give them another look.
One day down the line, ( well down the line I imagine), they might well be ubiquitous. But they will be lighter, with decent, new tech batteries instead of lithium,( which is a forty year old tech), possibly even self driving in places.
In other words I'd say, more like a computer on wheels, which if all the others are the same will be safe enough possibly.
But as they are now, they are just economic madness.
