    Very interesting reading, be great if this ends up a total success, the off road parking will become a problem for most.. Im sure I read somewhere about using street lamps, I guess that will help many.. However not everyone can use them if already in use, Example the problems trying to get a disabled parking space is bad enough let alone charging points..

    Yes and no, I have no off road parking, and I do high mileage, for most drivers though, the average seems to be 8k miles a year, which would mean in the 64kW EV’s maybe needing to visit a local fast charger once a fortnight for between 40 mins and an hour, if you then also add in the opportunities at supermarkets etc, that could make it even less.  MOST EV drivers don’t need to charge every night, and don’t
