They just keep peddling the lie so everyone believes it. Electricity has to be generated! Particularly in winter we struggle to cover domestic electricity demand and the only way to accommodate ever more electric car recharging is to switch on another gas powered generator.
Electric vehicles are good at keeping pollution out of town and City centers but that's ALL they are good for!
The car tax set up should be tailored for keeping electric vehicles in the City and proper vehicles for the open road! This could easily be done by a pence per mile set up for electric and as is for petrol, thus making electric prohibitive for long journeys.
At the moment, thanks to the myth that electric is green, the opposite is true! Electric vehicles are under taxed and petrol vehicles are over taxed, especially if you include fuel duty!
