    The infrastructure is going to be the problem, I wanted an EV this time, but was told I did not have a big enough electric cable to my house, as it is looped from the house next .door, I was quoted a few thousand pound price to have a new cable installed, plus the hassle of having my paved drive ripped up to have the cable fitted.

    It is not only cables up peoples drives, when everybody wants to charge cars in the street, the cables in the street will need to be larger, sub-stations will need upgrading, more 132Kv overhead lines will be needed, as well as more power stations needing building all before 2030 -35.

    I am not being pessimistic, just a realist.
