This is all PM Sunak's fault
he stopped funding thinking private companies would do it. https://inews.co.uk/news/environment...points-2936559 [Progress towards a switch to electric vehicles (EVs) is stalling with one in three councils across Great Britain failing to develop plans for new public chargepoints, new research suggests. The study also points towards a growing north south divide in EV infrastructure and fears that poorer areas are missing out.] I wonder if Labours Starmer will do any better? |

Not a Tory incorrectly assuming that private enterprise will pick up the slack on infrastructure spending. Surely not.

nobody is buying electric cars because there arent enough charging points, and they wont put in the charging points until there is a critical mass of electric cars

The thing is (assuming the world doesn't end in a firey global catastrophe) I feel like there's better tech on the horizon, either more efficient electric vehicles usuing totally different charging technology or a completely different fuel source will become the norm... I overwhelmingly get the impression that buying into current electric cars is similar to "mini disks" in the early 2000's. People were convinced they were the next big thing and then MP3's made them totally obsolete in under 2 years.

You know my methods

Electric car batteries from hot climates really fall off in range very quickly, so do batteries that have been constantly fast chaged
yet go buy one used and you will never be told about how the battery has been used. you can lose 80 miles in range in 2 years.. |
