Re: And where will they be?

However, I was in one of the dormitory towns outside London last week, and there was not a parking space to be had. No driveways. Cars nose-to-tail on the streets. Narrow pavements. EV just isn't going to work there (even if the power supply were adequate) unless people can plug in at the station or the office all day. Or they all invest in armoured extension cords.

That's basically the scenario I had in mind when I asked where these charging points will be, except that I was thinking of inner city areas rather than dormitory towns.

And of course not everyone goes to an office or a station - or takes their car to an office or station. These streets are not going to be dug up. And they are sure as hell are not going to be allowed to have armoured charging cords running across the pavements.

The problem is most acute in the areas which would most benefit.
