17.01.2022 Dr Euan McTurk from Plug Life Television looks at the claim that building and running an electric car creates more CO2 than keeping an old petrol car running for the same amount of time.

12.01.2022 "To Save the Planet, Get More EVs Into Used Car Lots" While we certainly don't think EVs will save the world, they are a step in the right direction. The key takeaway is, the more we can displace internal combustion vehicle emissions, the better it is for all. Walking, riding and public transport are of course the best ways to reduce emissions.

05.01.2022 Electric cars are quieter, cheaper to run, more reliable and better for the environment than petrol cars. So why arent we all driving them? Well, they have been expensive for starters.

The government could easily address these problems. Heres how. Video courtesy of The Guardian
