    Well now I’m just confused as to the point in sharing, since you provided no criticism of the article. It implied you thought it was a reasonable argument.

      Well sharing it was always going to be a bit interesting since it was Rowan Atkinson, but I also believed what I’ve read previously about EVs being disappointingly “un-green” vehicles when battery manufacturing was taken into account. So yeah I thought it was a reasonable argument. I’m happy to have been corrected.

        Ah gotcha, yeah this is an argument that comes up every once in a while where well-meaning people accidently do the comparison wrong or just fail to dig deeper.

        There was actually a point in time where owning an electric vehicle in West Virginia was actually less energy efficient to drive than a regular gas car. Their grid was comically dirty and EVs were just getting started.

        Kinda neat to learn Rowan has an engineering degree, I could have sworn he went to school for acting.
