Uh-huh. Capable of supporting how many cars? Please bear in mind that few
people in London are guaranteed a parking space in the immediate vicinity
of their homes.

And why can't these Londoners use the superb public transport in place
across the city, for an even bigger benefit?

Not only will electric cars save CO2


Will it? Where's this electricity coming from, then?


Also, if you're saying we should all stop using the Tube and overground
rail for getting around London, where the hell's the road space coming
from? Using London as an example of why rail is unsuitable as a future
transport technology is like using Gordon Ramsay as an example of why
the British can't do cooking.
