As soon as I saw this headline at the Daily Mail,
Drivers of petrol and diesel cars have ‘really poor’ knowledge about EVs and it’s stopping many from going green, think tank claims
I knew fun was going to ensue. The theme is a constant one, and is as annoying as the McDonald’s chirpy whistle that seems to crop up at every ad break on commercial radio. ICE drivers are as thick as porridge, and their tiny brains have been filled up with misinformation by people with vested interests in something-or-other. [Big Oil, perhaps.] Everything they think they know about EVs is pi radians wrong.
In its recent poll, 57 per cent of 1,000 UK drivers of conventional internal combustion engine (ICE) cars answered no more than two out of 10 questions about EVs correctly.
The Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit, which commissioned the survey, blamed a ‘constant stream of EV misinformation’ for limiting drivers’ knowledge about battery-powered cars.
