WHEN, as a cub reporter, I interviewed Maggie Thatcher I was labelled a young Thatcherite.
-
As a Telegraph columnist, certain folk called me an extreme right-winger. Then, when motoring editor at the Daily Mirror, I was written off as a communist.
Since then, I've been referred to as everything from a petrol industry apologist/lobbyist to an electricvehicle hater. Never mind that during the past decade, most of my cars of the year were EVs: Jag I-Pace, Kia EV6, Hyundai Ioniq 5, VW ID. Buzz, Renault 5 and 4.
Truth is, I'm an EV fan. But this doesn't prevent me from acknowledging their imperfections. That's what I did two weeks ago when, via this column, I argued that new EVs "normally" cost more to buy than equivalent ICE models; are "almost guaranteed" to have higher insurance premiums; and will "quite possibly" depreciate at a comparatively fast, financially painful rate.
