Interesting. Will they ever convert commercial traffic to EV's? Thinking of all those heavy articulated lorries taking goods to the shops etc...

A few weeks back I saw a Spar HGV that was powered by electricty. Most of the Amazon delivery vans round here are now EVs too, so I guess it's on its way.....

Whilst these types of videos are useful, I'm not a fan. They always seem to be made by one faction or another and skewed to get a particular message across. The one I hate the most is "EVs are good for the planet!". No, they're not. They are (probably) less harmful to the planet than ICE cars.

A friend of mine, and early EV adopter, has started saying that price is no longer a barrier to entry to the EV world. Whilst I agree it's improving, he views this through his own experience and forgets, for example, the single parent who just needs a runabout to do the shopping and get the kids to school.
