The problem with letting people make up their own minds is that they don't. They will listen to the hype and then when we all HAVE to have electric cars, which will not make a blind bit of difference to the climate, our grid wont be able to cope without a massive massive investment from government to energy companies which will not happen and then we will be way up the creek without a paddle.There are lots of of negatives for ev and I watch YouTube where people rant a bit.
However. Nothing ventured nothing gained. People can make own mind up
I agree. Actually, I don't think there will be a long-term problem with EV charging overwhelming the grid, because people will realise before too long that there isn't enough electricity for our normal domestic needs AND a nation full of EVs.The problem with letting people make up their own minds is that they don't.

As said I wouldn't have an EV or a hybrid even if they were giving them away but then I am of an age when it, probably, wont affect me anyway. Cue elall and co.
...things are changing - many EV's have over 250 mile range, batteries are lasting longer and longer, and V2G and TOU tariffs are likely to lead to EV's being part of the solution to peak demand problems.Personally, I wouldn't touch an EV with a bargepole.
Short range, severe loss of value as the battery becomes unusable.
We are already being warned of power cuts because we cannot generate enough electricity already. If EVs become more popular, that situation will become even worse.
Actual costs are more like 2p per mile, even low efficiency EVs will do 3 miles/kWh, most recent electric cars can easily achieve 4+It costs me about 8 pence a mile, charging at home 7.5p per kWh
Range is only relevant to the distances people actually drive in reality. Not those fictional types that drive 600 miles every day towing a caravan.Short range, severe loss of value as the battery becomes unusable.
No surprise there, it was inevitableFurther to my last, the Chancellor has announced that EV owners will no longer be able to avoid Road Tax.
