And yet we manage to build skyscrapers.

Almost as if in the last 100 years we mastered the art of generating more electricity, laying out high voltage cables and constructing enough electrical substations to meet the demand, whatever that demand might be.

See for example https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Grid_(Great_Britain)#...

The problem is breadth not depth. In the case of a skyscraper that requires more power you then have only to upgrade a localised substation. In order for the entire country to consume considerably more _current_ that requires a global upgrade everywhere. There are 400,000 substations in the UK.

I'm also not saying it's impossible, it's just something that the govt has to do first for this to even be feasible. It also makes the timeframe very impractical. The govt doesn't appear to ever address this or even begin the work required.

Surely funding these upgrades can be funded from the future booked revenue from the charging. I am sure the private sector would be chomping at the bit to capture a monopoly for these services as well.
