it's an odd argument against EV vehicles
that because UK government policy forces consumers to choose polluting power sources because of their status quo energy policy in the face of global warming and the worst European drought in at least 500 years, they should buy a car that can only run on polluting power sources.
It's a bit like saying, "well I'm going to drop my strides and shit on this beach because the government is pumping sewage there anyway". It's not a particular morally defensible position.
