And of course the electricity to power said vehicles needs to be
generated somewhere and somehow - which is in itself a rather wider
debate, and indeed one which is currently going on.


And in London the problem is distributing the electricity from the grid to
the end users. Even if there was a plentiful source of electricity, you'd
have to do quite a lot of work to get it where it's needed.

Just dig up the relevant bit of road/pavement and tap into the existing
domestic supply cables that are under every street. This must have been the
approach for the existing charging points, and it's hardly rocket science.
