I bought a Leaf recently as needed a second car and the environment wasn't my main driver for the purchase of an electric car. There are other benefits which were much more appealing.
- Mechanically less to go wrong, especially as it'll be for short frequent journeys
- Cheaper tax
- Can be charged at home so no need to find a petrol station
- No local emissions for school run
On the fact there has been no warming since 2000. I looked this up and came across another site which shows that it depends where you start the trend from. Since 2000 there has been a linear trend but start further back and it shows the trend has been a steady increase.
I haven't looked into the bias of the website authors...
