Are EVs a fad? And what’s a better option?

You're probably aware that petrol and diesel models will disappear from new car showrooms from 2030 and new hybrids will be gone in 2035. You'll still be able to buy used vehicles with petrol or diesel engines after these dates – and we anticipate that you'll still be able to refuel them at filling stations for at least another couple of decades. But if UK government policy is unchanged, new internal combustion-engined cars won't be a thing in the next decade.

So should all of us be thinking about going electric? Andy at Big Car has owned a Tesla Model 3 for a while but he's not convinced that EVs are going to be the answer for everyone in every country in the coming years. So what's the answer? Watch his video to hear his thoughts.
