Yes, in an interview with Times Radio, the government's press secretary for climate issues (yes, such a position exists in the UK), Allegra Stratton, recently said that she would prefer to drive her diesel Volkswagen Golf VI rather than an electric car. Stratton, who lives in London, said she has to regularly drive about 350 kilometers to visit her parents outside London. In other words, the "electric train" is not suitable for everyday tasks.
"These are trips where I would have to stop at least once to charge the electric car," she explained, adding that such stops would slow down the trip and make it unrealistic for her two young children.
Stratton's statement immediately caused outrage – she was attacked by everyone from opposition politicians to climate activists. But what can you do, the woman was simply honest: electric cars are the future, but for many drivers such transport is not practical. In any case, at this stage.
