BS article, lots of frameing; You have to look at the full picture, doesnt make sense to just zoom in on one part of the equation. E.g. doesn't take into account the energy that you have to invest to charge your car (as the charge gets higher, the amount of energy needed to keep filling rises as well), Solar panels are NOT free, EVs need to charge more and it would be fair to include extra miles that are made to find a charger that actually works (It is said only 25% works) let alone higher costs due to higher failure rates (see the German TUV reliability index).

I will happily keep driving my diesel. The people I know will only keep driving their EV until people have to start paying roadtax for them.

> It is said only 25% works

It is said wrong then. I drive my EV all ov er Europe and most chargers work most of the time. In three years of driving I encountered three broken stations that were shown as functional in the app.
