I leave the tabloids in my newsfeed to ensure I get a rounded picture of things and what amazes me is the consistent anti-EV rhetoric from all the right wing papers. It's a constant background chipping away at it with stories about people buying EVs and hating them, so they go back to the gas guzzlers. If you only read the Express, Daily Fail or Scum then you'd definitely be under the impression that EVs are pretty much DOA.

I see the same thing (same motivation). I got a 19 plate Leaf a few months back, it's feckin awesome and anecdotes and data all point to "EV Good, and getting better". It's mental.
