Electric cars are polarizing not only on social media, but also on TV. This is not new, but it is always exciting to observe.
At Mimikama we are repeatedly confronted with fakes regarding electric cars. Most of the time it's not necessarily about the cars themselves, but rather about the charging stations.
A popular motif is always some (supposed) diesel generator that is supposed to charge an electric car. The meaning of these images lies in the absurdity of the situation: the “dirty” diesel is necessary for the “clean” electric car ( example here ).

This is also the approach of a YouTube video from the YouTube channel Car Maniac . The channel, which is dedicated to vehicles with both internal combustion engines and electric motors, used a report from the program “Mario Barth reveals” from October 16, 2019 as an opportunity to do a fact check.
In this article, Christopher Karatsonyi objectively explains what was wrong with the TV report about electric cars. The article itself is largely based on an article entitled “Mario Barth reveals: Eco-balance of electric cars – the fact check” from the website Smaveo.de .
The description of this electric car video is:
Mario Barth has revealed it again. But this time it was pretty much a fail. All the regular wisdom and the facts that speak against it, here in this video!
