He is just a mouth piece for EVs. He doesn't mention the UK only truck maker went bust last week. The problem is the battery is only guaranteed for 8 years if lucky. If they had faith in them then they would increase this to at least 12 years but some have reduced this to 6 years. It seems like EVs will be a throw away market so good for manufacturing.
You may need some evidence to back up your opinions.
Here's some evidence that batteries aren't "throw away". If you read it, you might just change your mind. https://www.which.co.uk/news/article/the-truth-about-electric-car-battery-degradation-apYqu1y6IYnr
As for "The problem is the battery is only guaranteed for 8 years if lucky.", the article also contains this:
Which might also change your mind. But I won't hold my breath.
But it's OK. The more people refuse to accept that EVs are an excellent solution for 90% of drivers, the cheaper EVs will be secondhand. Given I only plan to buy secondhand, the more anti-EV propaganda, the better.

Probably because I'm a retired FF and have seen metal burning at over 2,000 degrees. Like a lithium ion fire which can burn at 2500 degrees. This can burn down carparks like the Luton Airport fire. Once we have a fire on channel tunnel, Ferry or any long tunnel then they will be banned. I think they are great in theory but in reality they are rubbish. That's my opinion but hybrid seem to be making ground. Maybe when salt batteries come out things will change. I would like them to do well but can't see it at the moment.
