The nightmare of EV ownership and the cold reality of blood batteries

How hard can it be to drive from Cornwall to Bristol for the day? Well, pretty darn hard, it turns out. Join me as we take a look at Steven Smith's epic adventure as he tries to use a Volvo C40 Recharge for a trip that his BMW 118d doesn't even sniff at.

We'll be analysing the journey, the costs and the experience Steven had, and dealing with some of the comments on his original post.

After that we'll be dipping into the darker side of EVs - battery production and it's harms.

Are we really being pushed towards a future of cars that don't work, cars that cause more harm and suffering than any cars that have been before…?

You decide.
