Top Gear up to their usual Electric Car comedy routine [video]

Clarkson and co have gone viral on the internet courtesy of filming an episode featuring the electric Nissan Leaf and Peugeot Ion in front of 100s of students with mobile phones at the University of Lincoln.

Predictably the Top Gear crew have to go to the ridiculous to make what-ever point they're trying to make. We'll have to wait until June to watch the latest edition of automotive Jack Ass to see if they have managed to put any positive spin on these EVs.
