This TEDx Talk Said You Should Just Buy a Hybrid. Here’s What It Didn’t Tell You…

Viewers last week encountered a talk from TEDx San Antonio by Dr Graham Conway which they'd seen and sent us links. *Many* folks contacted us concerned that it contains a number of misrepresentations and fallacies, and asking us to examine it...

...so, we did.

Note: During this video Kate satirizes some of the more extreme comments and views we receive regarding electric vehicles. It goes without saying that Transport Evolved does not endorse the views expressed.
