Better than any video of his I've seen. Would rather anyone else in the entire world narrate animation. Second thought, I'd probably prefer Shouty to Ben Shapiro, but there are parallels there.

Might be a useful video for people that don't know anything about EVs, but it includes too broad a range of topics to appeal to EV noobs, such as history, and how motors work.

It falls flat by not mentioning the singular and glaring weakness of EVs; the battery. Anyone wanting to promote EVs needs to address that elephant in the room, and then explain why the other strengths are worth what is essentially a $10,000 gas tank, that shrinks in capacity over time, that takes an eternity to fill, that requires environmental regulation, that takes up a lot of space and weighs a lot, and that when subsidized at $10,000, still accounts for only 2% of the passenger vehicle sales, represents a huge achilles heel.

Shouty is living proof that anyone can make it this day and age.
