I do take issue with his whole 'nasty' destruction of the cars that they lent to people. It was supposed to be a trial where the people had them on lease. At the end of their trial they decided they didn't want to move forward with the EV project and took the cars back. They destroyed them and did not allow people to buy them because they didn't have a maintenance plan in place. As a car manufacturer you aren't going to keep plants tooled up to make spare parts for a handful of cars, so they couldn't keep them running as bits broke, and they wouldn't be able to keep them safe. So... it was actually not ridiculous for them to do this.

Declaring the trial a failure and the concept not worth pursuing, well, yeah, definitely there's issue there and that's where the argument should start, but don't begin with the whole 'hey, they crushed our cars' thing... as it's stretching the truth a lot.

Now, people touting this 'What's the point of driving an electric car if the power is produced in dirty coal plants anyway?'... well, I watched another video where a woman has one of the Toyota EV Rav4s and another electric car, and has solar panels on the roof of her house. She charges these TWO electric cars and runs her whole house off the solar... and her total power bill was only $2 and change a month. THAT'S IT... that's almost ENTIRELY running off solar. If the government heavily subsidized solar panels for residential houses we would largely remove the problems of power generation.

Oh... and this guy takes about 5 times as long to make about one point as needed.
