Top Gear is the home of petrolheads. One of their original hosts is now calling out the ongoing, deliberate campaign to try to undermine EVs, funded by fossil fuel and car companies and their associated media outlets. As Goebbels said, repeat a lie often enough and it becomes the truth for people. He counted over 150 articles in succession in the UK press slamming everything about EVs. It’s a deliberate media campaign by the same fossil fuel and car companies, to try to protect their business. But it works, all the bullshit they put in these stories becomes the anti-EV ‘facts’ people post here every day, like numpties. Thankfully it hasn’t stopped people wanting EVs in Oz. They’re just buying hybrids instead, for now, sales of those is exploding. They’ve been spooked, but not shifted.
