The intrepid adventurer from the BBC drove the 778 kilometers from London to Edinburgh in an electric Mini, and had to stop eight times to recharge – often waiting six hours or more.
In total, he spent 80 hours waiting or driving, averaging just ten kilometers per hour – an unenviable pace even before the advent of the steam engine.

Tell Brian to invest in a Tesla instead. 0 to 100 in 4.2 seconds. Goes for 450kms on a single charge that only takes 40 mins (a coffee break) to fill-up. Embrace technology my friend. In ten years, we’ll all be giving up the 19th century internal combustion engine for 21st century technology.
PS: Libertarians / conservatives can be FOR cars and FOR the environment as the same time. No need to be tribal.
