UK Climate Change Spokesperson Prefers Diesel Over Electric

British Prime Minister, Boris Johnson’s climate spokesperson, Allegra Stratton, chooses diesel over electric for her personal transportation needs. “I don’t fancy it [electric vehicles] just yet,” she was quoted as saying in an article in The Guardian. Citing a lack of charging infrastructure, Stratton said that stopping to charge an EV during her frequent 200-250-mile drives to see family isn’t practical. However, she also conceded that if quicker charge times were made possible she might entertain the idea of going electric. As for now, Stratton relies on a third-hand, Tdi-powered Volkswagen Golf to get her where she needs to be.
