As usual politicians will only react when they have to when the load on the grid either local or national becomes critical whereupon headless chicken mode will be engaged. Maybe you'll throw in the argument about cables draped across pavements but a couple of hours of work on the legislation would see that dangerous and unsociable practive outlawed overnight. So outlawing electric cars for something approaching 50% of the population who can only afford a flat or terraced house. No, of course not. There will be plenty of other places to recharge, whether in car parks, roadside chargers, motorway services, fast charger stations, etc. As the number of EVs increases, there will be a growing network of chargers. Even the major oil companies see it as an attractive market: They'll still take far longer to recharge than an ICE vehicle. Therein lies the problem. |
