That’s a not inconsiderable advantage! It is, but otoh once - one hopes - street recharging via some sort of infrastructure built into street lights or similar for those who don't have driveways becomes the norm in a decade or 2, that advantage will become redundant except for the very few people who need to do ultra long journeys without much in the way of stopping. The main issue with EVs isn't the battery vs H2 argument , its where the power is going to come from to power them all in the first place because right now the generating capacity simply isn't there And nor of course is there much more than 13A ring main linking up the streetlights in any one street. Streets and pavements are dug up often enough for other reasons, that doing it again to upgrade the wiring/install a parallel circuit, isn't the end of the world. I think you underestimate the scale of the project. The various cable TV/internet companies, now all(?) under the Virgin umbrella, laid new cable along the pavement of a decent proportion of the country in the 1990s(?). Just under the surface (and in many cases very poorly finished), power cables have to be much deeper - 18" is typical. This time, for a start, only roads which people actually park along will need to be covered. That rules out a good proportion of residential roads which are sufficiently provided with off-street parking. You'd probably have to do all the ones which currently attract cars parked on them. Which in a lot of places is pretty much all of them. -- Roland Perry |
