Some more anti-EV bilge from The Telegraph.
A Range Rover is up to 2,280kg. A Tesla Model 3 is up to 1,836 kg.

Both broken for a week apparently. Worker in the shop said “they don’t seem to care”.

Some people don't like change, are too impatient to charge, and think EVs threaten their manhood because they're easier to drive than a manual gearbox.
Obviously instead of admitting that, they'll just say about African kids mining for cobalt — as if they ever cared before.

4 hours of driving through wintery wind and rain with a toasty-warm cabin, and my grubby little Kia e-Niro still got me the 192 miles to Birmingham with 3.9 miles/kWh efficiency. That means it cost me the grand total of... £3.60.
Motoring doesn’t get much cheaper than that.

Order an EV from many brands now and you'll be lucky to get it this year.
Tesla, meanwhile, will sell you a Model Y for delivery in May. 😮

Still 94 miles of range left (36%) after four hours of mainly motorway driving — the whole journey costing £3.07. Under 2p per mile.

A full charge for my e-Niro right now is 283 miles.
Yes, I know I'll hear "my diesel does 600 miles" but for most people doing about 18 miles a day, two weeks between charges is not bad at all.
And obviously if you can charge at home overnight, that's 2p per mile.

MFG are one of the best charging networks in the UK. To have their hubs at 400 Morrisons supermarkets across the country will be a game-changer.
With Sainsbury’s and Asda also building hubs, we could start to see some supermarket price wars, making charging much cheaper. ⚡️
We are pleased to announce the proposed acquisition of 337 Morrisons petrol forecourts and more than 400 associated sites for electric vehicle charging development.
