there was a terrible program on Channel 5 a couple of weeks ago trying to highlight the countries reluctance to EVs.
the one fact that really stuck out was the stopping distance. they took a EQS and what ever the ice equivelant was another big merc and they both had to do emergency stop from 70mph. the EV stopped first and even though it is an heavier car because of the regen braking it helps the car come to a stop quicker.
they also went on to say that because of a lack of an engine under the hood they can do wonderful things for safety protection for both occupants and pedestrians if heaven forbid anyone was to hit one.
rest of the program was EV bashing including war and peace from the fire brigade who might as well have said we dont know how to put the fires out when they set alight.
