I like Elelectric Cars, have driven them, have friends who own and love their Teslas. And so does Rowen Atkinson.

He makes some terrific points in an article shared by “Greg Buys Cars” podcast. In short: they are not as green as they seem. Counting in the cost of building them and the batteries, and their much higher price. And the fact that charging them with fossil fuel electricity only moves the emissions away from the tail-pipe.

ADDED: The Guardian has a go at Atkinson and Greg  Debunks the Debunk.
