According to former motoring journalist, now Net Zero lobbyist, Quentin Willson, slow consumer take-up of EVs is due to “myths and misinformation”. Concerns about fires, battery degradation, range, charging and servicing costs are all groundless, the former Top Gear host claims, or easily fixable by policy. “By 2035, if we enact the right policies and the right information for consumers, it will be achievable,” he claimed, alluding to the ban on sales of new petrol and diesel cars by that year. His comments – evidence given to a recent Select Committee on Transport session – appear to be driven by green ideology and funding from the usual Green Blob suspects.

Particularly worth reading is Ben Pile’s explanation of who is funding Willson’s lobby group, FairCharge:
The ECF was set up largely with money from US far left foundations, such as Rockefeller, ClimateWorks, Bloomberg and the William & Flora Hewlett Foundation. More money comes from the Grantham Foundation and CIFF.
