" lets be honest, the uptake of electric vehicles in the UK is driven by company car drivers "
That may be true of the upper, more expensive end of the market but the forums I frequent with my lower end EV (and previously the Ampera) have very few company car owners on.
An EV will comfortably cover 180k miles, many have, as there are so many fewer parts than an ICE to go wrong.
I've not watched the video and I don't doubt it is probably very convincing and probably has some truths in it but these days I tend to avoid being swayed too much by a single item I read or watch.
Whichever way you look at it, ICE cars are undesirable for the plant and the EV as we know it is the next step in it's evolution into something we can all like. Some people are managing to overcome their long-held deeply-entrenched views on EVs and are quite pleasantly surprised by how convenient, quiet, smooth, economical etc they are compared to ICE. One can't go round all the time making excuses like "it's not for me, not yet, until the range improves". We ned to adapt.
