I'm not an EV hater, it's each to their own and with the obvious tax incentives for those who can purchase via company car scheme it is a no brainer. What I do hate though I those that preach how environmentally friendly they are to the planet and that I should get rid of my fossil fuel burners and buy one.
I can't see how any new car can be truly net neutral over a car that has already been built, the production impact alone, regardless of fuel type, must take years to recoup over an existing car even if it is less efficient. EVs by the time you factor in mining all those complex ingredients and then shipping them half way round the world to turn into batteries which you then charge with various power generation options including fossil fuels makes no sense to me.
Heh I might be an old dinosaur but all my cars are old and recycled, make do and mend was what I was brought up on and in most cases that's still how I make do today.
