Heavy vehicles are to blame.

Scary isn’t it…….some of them simply do not have a clue!

You are biased in your opinion, it's well known the vehicles that cause the most damage are trucks, by a factor of about 10000 not EVs or any other large car or van all new cars are larger and heavier than previous models because safety standards require a certain strength in a crash.

Comparing similar models, a Ford Mondeo weighs around 100kgs less than a similar Tesla Model 3, popular hybrids weigh roughly the same as the equivalent EV.

Another statistic the hate EV brigade repeat is that EVs catch fire, some do but a petrol or diesel car is 100 times more likely to catch fire

As are you.
The councillor didn’t mention lorries or trucks or even buses. They are obviously heavier and cause the most damage. You only have to look at the road by a bus stop, or where lorries pull up to do deliveries.

EVs are heavier, and saying more people should get them also ignores the fact that they are expensive and beyond the reach of many people.
