    Like soul777, I have watched many of Geoff’s videos and agree, this is somewhat out of character. I don’t subscribe or respond to YouTube or any of its posters and didn’t watch this episode. He has pointed out the fire risk of Lithium ion batteries, which is covered up by the media and I have been censored/ cancelled on this forum for factual posts. I have no “ skin in the game” as have an ICE car, but burying heads in sand by denying the risks seems foolish. Geoff is on an extended family adventure in Dubai, Sri Lanka and now Malaysia, car spotting and I enjoy most of his down to earth, common sense posts normally from his native Worcestershire. Since it is over a decade since ill health early retirement, I enjoy seeing the staggering motoring developments in countries that I flew to and often hired cars in. India and Sri Lanka were home to millions of morris oxford diesels built under licence. They have moved on a little, but our arbitrary, self harming ZEV targets are a gnat on an elephants backside in the global picture. Like others here, I would love to have avoided pip altogether in life and to still be able to enjoy my free first class tickets and spend winters playing golf etc in Cape Town, Dubai, or mostly Arizona. Fate dictates otherwise as it has to many fellow sufferers. Geoff has clearly had an aberration and damaging miss judgement which plays into the hands of the envious, small minded and ill informed types out there. Take it down and apologise, Geoff,
