War of Words: ICE or EV?

2 years ago

Writer:

Steve Sutcliffe | Journalist

Date:

Dear Sutcliffe,

The last time we met you told me you were considering buying your long-term test Polestar 2. With your own money. I didn’t say much at the time because I was so shocked, but it threw me. Quite a lot. Did you actually buy it?

Now that I’ve retired from front-line newspaper car journalism, part of my life’s ambition is to never drive another EV, so the thought of you owning one fills me with horror. How can you possibly think an electric car a desirable thing to own for practical or emotional reasons?

Cheers, Col
