OK. This week I become a proper full-time EV zealot.
I have hired a petrol automatic for a week.
It’s crap. I hate it. It’s loud. It’s unresponsive. The brakes are harsh. Petrol is expensive and smells.
Its only redeeming feature is the range.
Everything else is worse.
(Hybrids probably represent a good half-way. But gosh I love my EV)
