    A lot more people will have read and forwarded the original article. I doubt many EV sceptics would even bother reading the correction. 

  3. The DM, like much of the right wing media is anti-EV. They seem to have taken the idea of heavier cars causing more damage to road, conflated that with the fact that on a like-for-like basis EV cars are heavier than their ICE counterpart and have drawn their own conclusions that weren’t in the original report.

    Are there any statistics on the number of vehicles and their average weight relative to the number of pot holes available?
