Comment on Electric car sales in UK flatline, prompting calls for VAT cut
frazorth@feddit.uk 5 months agoConsidering the number of people who don’t have a driveway, public charging points are really the only option.
I’m not sure what I’ll do when they force me to buy electric and move of ICE. There are four charging points at the big Tesco’s, none at Sainsbury’s or Waitrose and none of the petrol stations have charge points. It’s just not viable for me.

Dumb question from an American: why doesn’t the national grid install roadside chargers? They could put them everywhere and then have a card or NFC fob to link the charges back to your account with your provider of choice. That way people without a driveway could charge at the same electric rate they pay at home.

Nothing.
Except we keep voting for people who are giving away new oil fields rather than planning for our future.
