I could pick this apart forever, but I can't be arsed to be honest, so I'll just pick one of his "arguments' as an example:

"EVs are using 'dirty' fossil fuel sources for electricity, so are as dirty as petrol/diesel anyway" Not so, for at least two main reasons:

1) the energy efficiency/conversion costs to get this 'fuel' (EV or ICE) to the point of use is much worse for ICE fuel sources than for EVs (see other threads on this forum about that....) and

2) More and more electricity is sourced from clean energy - and increasingly at a cheaper price than the fossil fuel alternative, so this 'argument' from him is becoming more untrue every day.

Honestly, this really is not worth watching - or certainly not believing, if you have any sense.
