Eamonn Holmes has declared that "nothing about electric cars is attractive" as he outlined his key reasons for not wanting to buy one.Speaking to cohost Nana Akua, the GB News broadcaster admitted that although he "wants to do the right thing" and buy one, there are many issues with owning an electric vehicle.FULL STORY HERE.
00:00Be good at, you know, with your voice, sounding off against certain things.
00:04And yesterday we were talking about electric cars and the government are really trying to encourage them and all that sort of thing.
00:11Now, look, I would like to do the right thing. I would like to go out there and buy an electric car, but I'm not going to.
00:17I'm just, I'm not going to. There's nothing about them that makes them attractive to me and what I need a car for.
00:25So, you know, for instance, like I drive to a lot of football. I go to a lot of football.
00:29Now, so that's London to Manchester. So how I'm going to have to sit and go, well, how far can I get out of London?
00:36I can get to Manchester maybe, but can I get back? Or if I haven't got enough charge, will it get me there in time for kickoff?
00:42And the thing is, it's not a true sense of how far you can actually travel in a car anyway, because with those cars, if you switch on the heating, I've seen people, I've been in their cars where they've gone, no, no heating.
00:54Why? Oh, it's an electric car. I've got to say, so you don't listen to this. Can't do that.
00:58Can't put the radio on.
00:59Lots of things, because it's one source of power.
01:02Yeah.
01:02So the problem with them is that, but also as a woman, if I stop at the petrol station, I don't want to sit there for half an hour or 45 minutes, especially what if it's late at night?
01:11This is something designed by a man for a man. It is absolutely designed by a man. No woman would design an electric car.
01:18I'll tell you this, and I'd be interested, viewers and listeners, on your opinions on this. Hotel rooms, definitely designed by men.
01:26Absolutely.
01:26Definitely, there's no doubt. Because if I am with another woman who says, where is the PowerPoint, where is the plug by the mirror?
01:35There's never a plug by the mirror so they can dry their hair or put their make-up on or whatever.
01:39Or sometimes you go in the room and there's no full-size mirror. It's like, designed by a man.
01:44A man, a man. It's a man who doesn't want to look at himself and admire himself. So look, some of the things we're talking about, what do you think have been designed by men?
01:53And it's quite obvious, okay? So let us know. And what would it take for you to buy an electric car?
02:00And what would it take for you to buy an electric car?
