Generally a good report but I fail to understand why people find EVs so funny. I stopped doing any media work a couple of years ago because they always made it out to be a joke. This report isn't quite that bad but the anchor guys thought it really funny at the start and again at the end.

I fail to see what is funny about EVs.

I do wish that media would stop making a joke out of EVs whenever they report. It is getting better and the bit on BBC South was very good but it still happens far too often and if we want EVs to be taken seriously by the general public then they must be reported on without the "let's all have a laugh" attitude.

I think this graphic explains some of the mentality we see.
