Why Electric Cars are Better: Hyundai Kona EV

The UK has been in the grip of a desperate fuel shortage, and who were the winners? Electric Car owners.

They sailed through the shortage, the only bump in the road being a few grocery items missing from supermarket shelves. Cars like my Kona electric, shrugged their shoulders as they conveyed their smug owners past huge lines of dinosaur- burning, fossil-fuelled museum exhibits trying to sore a hit of petrol. By the time we clever EV drivers are tucked up in front of the tellie, the Lambo driver arrives on the station driveway to find an empty bowser. We’ll think about them while we sip our G and T.

The petrol and diesel: has to be towed in to place by sweaty men in filthy trucks. They clog the city streets while towing a potential bomb behind them. And this is all to fuel conveyances that belch out nox and CO2 at the speed of light.

In comparison, an EV and be fully charged to 600km range in as little as half an hour. It emits nothing but vast sums of smugness, and can be offset by sunrays, and cooling summer breezes. Most charging infrastructure is 100% renewable. Even if was powered by coal, the cost to the environment is less than half.

The final myth: is that EVs cost more in energy to produce, than they save in a lifetime of driving. Let’s look at that unbridled nuttiness for a second. There is scant data proving that an EV takes more energy and resources to create, than an ICE vehicle of the same size. Even if it did, an ICE vehicle will pump out 200grams per km on average. A 300,000km lifetime would produce 600,000,000grams of CO2, and enough NOX to knobble a whole field of knackered nags.

In the coming weeks we are driving Hyundai’s Hydrogen car followed by the new IONIQ5. V8? Is it, Bollocks! And a similar tidings of much bollockness to V6’s, the humble 4cylinder, and even the half-way-hybrid.

Look for our Kona EV review in a few week’s time. We’ve d riven it before, and Kona EV is 100% fun every time. Read about it HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE and HERE

The world is slowly developing less reason to tolerate the resistance of deep-pocketed oil giants. There were those on the stern of Titanic admiring the view from their lofty perches, and look how that turned out for them.
