Don't be fooled - Elon Musk's electric cars aren't about to save the planet
This got me pretty wound up over my breakfast this morning. Full of the usual BS about how EVs are powered by coal, etc. I noticed the weasel words "the electricity powering it is often produced with coal" - no mention of actual stats about what percentage of electricity comes from coal in the UK (as I write it's less than 7%).
The worst bit is he has the audacity to compare the Model S to a diesel Audi - in an article which claims EVs cause more air pollution than fossil cars! It's as if dieselgate never happened. As a London cyclist having to endure air that can only be described as disgusting, I know which I prefer.
I could go on, but it might turn into a rant...
