I have only one word for this: pwnage Assuming this data is not fabricated (always a possibility!) - then the news reporter did some seriously shady reporting and should be fired immediately (this is THE New York Times). The only questions I have about the hit piece are the following. Is he getting paid by anyone to be against electric cars? What is his past history with electric cars? Where has he previously been employed? And what ties does he have to the ICE industry?
