Top gear surprisingly had good insight here. They compared ice engines to a mechanical watch. Sure it’s beautiful and technically tells the time and you can respect the engineering but with ev it’s more like respecting the construction for why it is rather than the future of transportation
I'm guessing that was post-Clarkson TG?
I believe it was James May who said it. I fell off around when clarckson couldn’t contain his shittyness anymore
Interesting. Funny how I've come around from me and a friend being Clarkson and Hammond to both ending up more like May
