‘I Feel A Little Duped’: Even Mr. Bean Seems Done With Electric Vehicles

Rowan Atkinson, Mr. Bean (or, if you prefer, and I do, Blackadder) is worried about climate change, which he refers to as a “crisis,” has a couple of engineering degrees, and loves cars.

He was also early, he writes in The Guardian, to buy a hybrid and then early to buy an electric car (if we exclude the fact that EVs were the auto-industry leaders at the beginning of the last century until they lost out to, ahem, a superior technology).


Atkinson likes electric cars, and his experience has been good (“notwithstanding our poor charging infrastructure”).
