We've covered the spread of disinformation surrounding electric cars for some time on this channel - and in our news roundup shows, we've shared news that EV sales are continuing to rise, despite what naysayers might say.

But in its latest survey into EV attitudes, Gallup has discovered an increase in the number of people who appear to not be interested in going electric.

Why is that? Is it down to money? Is it because of bad press? Or is it because of politics?

Sadly, we think all of the above is true, but the last is trying to be a knock-out blow.
