Top ten reasons NOT to buy an electric vehicle (and why each one is wrong!)

Electric vehicles. To buy or not to buy? That is the question! Many of us still labour under prejudices and misperceptions that are years or even decades out of date. Misperceptions that are enthusiastically reinforced by the fossil fuel industry! But with battery prices tumbling and governments around the world now beginning to enact legislation to ban the sale of internal combustion engine cars in the next few years, all the major manufacturers are investing billions in research and development to bring us some spectacular electric choices. In fact there's never been a better time to have a think about EVs.
