But, I happen to agree with this part.
I’ve said this before, oil is a commodity crucial to so many things we rely on for our way of life, it’s almost silly to burn it in an internal combustion engine passenger car when perfectly good alternatives exist.
Despite everything, whilst slowing to merely ‘sensible’, EV penetration is growing despite all the negative press and seems likely we’ll have petrol diesel and electric vehicles on the roads side by side for decades to come.
What are some people scared of, exactly?
