Charging of EV,s being done using diesel generators.   I hope the media pick up on this.  Also the lack of range of these for drivers going to Edinburgh and Glasgow collecting people from flights.  Edinburgh airport 30 minute max charge time other than at the Tesla supercharger.

The majority of the media only show celebs getting in & out of the EVs, they're too taken in by the hype to look behind the scenes and see the diesel generators.

 

I suspect only programmes like Panorama could be interested in stories like this as yet another example of greenwashing.

It is farcical.   Even if charging on chargers using electric that is from renewables.  More reviews needed showing the pathetic range of these Mercedes Luxury EV transporters with passengers and luggage.   No chance of the usual thing of airport transport vehicle / minibuses for golfers with a trailer towed is very low as is the distance before needing to get on a charger.  I might get pictures as the week goes on.  I wait to see Mercedes UK trying to big up how successful their EV,s were in reduction pollution at the Open Golf.    Maybe pictures of EV,s being transported on HGV,s to get to events rather than being driven to them on clean energy.  The drivers being transported in other vehicles etc.
