Rowan Atkinson Feels Deceived Over Electric Vehicle Promises.

Rowan Atkinson, the British comedian and car enthusiast, has written an opinion piece for The Guardian questioning the environmental benefits of electric vehicles and the proposed ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel cars by 2030 in the United Kingdom. While he acknowledges the benefits of electric vehicles, Atkinson believes that society's relationship with cars needs an overhaul, and other alternatives such as solid-state or hydrogen-based fuels are still in the works. He advises those on the fence about buying an electric car to hold off for now, as electric propulsion will be of real, global environmental benefit one day, but that day has yet to dawn.
