EV opposition in the media is ramping up

The car is red one side and blue the other with the LMAC construction company logo who are moving over to electric cars.

Daily Fail did an article showing Storm Babet. Claimed this car was inundated in an Essex Ford. Series of shots show it getting through. Guess the model!

Could have a least given it praise for success but not their agenda!

I wonder what his undertray looks like?

That's not a good idea.

These are the kind of reviews you'll never see in the Daily Fail, the Sun, or on GB News.



Flaviana's comment at the end sums it up.

Another Stop-Burning-Stuff endorsed article.

Factcheck: 21 misleading myths about electric vehicles

Things seem to be moving in the right direction now.

It never ends.

Absolute load of twaddle for sure, it needs to be viewed and this viewed after for a balanced more accurate picture.

 

[Rolfe]

I just posted the link to the Factcheck article in the comments.

 

[Gadget Geek]

I left this in the comments section;

Trying to sound like David Attenborough doesn't make the information correct. A complete load of bo**ocks. Try looking at actual facts. Factcheck: 21 misleading myths about electric vehicles - Carbon Brief

Maybe if everyone on here leaves a link to the Carbon Brief fact check, they might start getting the message.

P.S. I gave it a thumbs down as well.

Someone should forward that to Attenborough's agent ...

I agree! That sounds to me very much like an AI "impersonation" of David Attenborough. The whole speed of delivery was wrong and the tone of voice not how he now is (just listen/watch him in the Introductory section of the new Planet Earth 3 TV series).

 

[Gadget Geek]

I was thinking the same after watching a news item where they sampled the reporters voice and phoned his mother, who was completely fooled.

The script was too emotional for Attenborough, who nearly always remains unbiased and scientific in his delivery.

I don't even need to watch this to know that it'll end up being fixed so that EVs get a bad press. ?

That MacMaster has one of those unfortunate faces that you just want to punch.

He does claim that he's on the side of the "EVangelists", who ever they are, and the comments sections are already full of the fudsters.

Who gives a rat's arse what these two knobheads think ... what a waste of everyone's time and money ... what are they trying to prove ... except that they've got more time and money than sense ... get a proper job lads. ?

He had a heart attack scare but he seems to be OK now. It's the "it's for the Greater Good" schtick that's so annoying. But the look on his face when he test-drove a Tesla was priceless.

If you take out a couple of c's and the k . . . oh, and transpose the t and i, then I agree whole heartedly.

That was just them talking about what they're going to do, not actually doing it. Tune in later...

They were right about one thing though. Chargers with no shelter are the absolute pits.

Now I have to go and get soaked walking half a mile to the garage to pick my car up, as its winter tyres have just been fitted. And I can't even blame anyone else or EVs or whatever, because it was exactly the same when my ICE car had the same thing.
