    Hitachi just bailed out of building a nuclear Power station  in Wales and future projects. Unless the government stops wasting money on Environmentally disastrous vanity projects like HS2 and invests in power generation, EVs will only charge when the wind blows or otherwise from fossil fuel generators thus negating their already dubious green credentials. Eg @74kgs of lithium each mined In the Andes. If we took every UK Ice car off the road the CO2 saved only equates to several weeks of Chinese coal Fired power stations.
