So rather than being utterly ridiculous, it just requires a different mindset and acceptance that many more charging points will be available in the next ten years than there are currently.
It'd truly be one of the biggest infrastructure projects the UK has ever seen and likely run into the £100's of bns. The disruption would be like nothing ever seen before (you can't just upgrade substations or dig up basically every residential street in the country without disruption).
I think many like to comment on this from the position of being one of the few who owns an electric car and has the luxury of finding places to charge. That does not scale without truly colossal infrastructure changes.
I already despise having to fill up with petrol and always delay it until the last minute so that would be an added incentive for me.
Also, could not public car parks, workplaces, supermarkets, etc be used as public charging points?
In reality, we're talking about no new petrol/diesel cars in 9 years which means second-hand cars will be available for at least 10 years after that. It isn't as if you're being asked to make changes overnight?
