Does ‘Top Gear’ hate electric cars?
So I've been watching a lot of *Top Gear* and they always seem to show EVs negatively. Does Top Gear hate electric cars?
Chanice Boyd · Updated on

That’s a very entertaining show, to say the least. You’re right; it isn’t clear whether or not Top Gear hates electric cars, but it sure seems that way.
The British fast-paced, stunt-filled show, Top Gear, is about a group of gearheads who put ordinary and dynamic vehicles to the ultimate test. They often receive criticism for their disregard for the environment and promoting dangerous stunt driving to their audience.
As for
electric cars
, they seem to be dedicated to proving that electric cars are useless. So they often attempt to disprove all the features that manufacturers claim make EVs great.
The positive side is that electric vehicles get to prove their validity. However, it’s rumored that if the car should outperform their theories, then the show will bend the rules to confirm their initial assumptions.
So it’s unclear what’s true and what isn’t. Top Gear has even gotten the attention of one of the most famed electric car makers, Elon Musk. In a feud between the BBC show and Musk, he quoted that the show was “completely phony”.”
One thing is evident when you’re ready to buy your first EV; you’ll need to have excellent car insurance to protect you from any mishap. Check in with Jerry
