Why do you keep telling us about your recently leased V6 diesel range rover, that apparently you only got rid of because there was no option to buy, it does not boost your eco credentials.
There's lots of ways that electric cars are better than petrol. There's lots of ways they're the same. To some of us the latter outweighs the former. We still see traffic, the lived environment taken up with parking, close passes, engineered obsolescence, conspicuous consumption, road traffic accidents, increased road building, non walkable communities, negatively impacted public transport. It's great that you're no longer sending diesel particulate straight into people's lungs but it's not enough to put your choice into a significantly different category.
