Are they really more eco friendly? What Car doesn’t seem to think so.

1. The production produces more carbon emissions than a petrol vehicle according to VW by about 25%
2. It’s more difficult to recycle. Only 10% of the rare minerals used are recovered.
3. We just push the carbon footprint uphill to the power station which we will need another dozen of to hit the demand
4. On short runs the breakeven by going electric is about 77,000 miles. It’s better on long run usage assuming you can find a charging point
5. Most of the lithium used in batteries comes from the Congo where they use child Labour to dig it out.
6. Insurance premiums are higher. Damage the battery and the car is a write off
7. They cost shed loads more to buy
8. The extra weight means that some older multi story car parks will either have to strengthened or ban them
9. Potholes will get worse and roads will wear out faster, again due to extra weight
10. Cars don’t just emit CO2. The rest of the particulate shite they emit doesn’t go away when you drive an EV – just move it upline
I could go on but as far as I can see you have to be a virtue signaling eco loon muppet with more money than sense to buy an EV…
