The elitism of electric cars

EVs are still only viable for the well-off, urban-dwelling, laptop class.

No invention has done more to liberate society than the mass-produced car. It has become as democratised as such a complex piece of machinery can be. Today, just £1,000 gets you a Vauxhall Corsa from the early 2010s. While it won’t be fast, exciting or luxurious, it will get you as far as your petrol money and dreams will take you. Or, more likely, to work and back.
