It's a case of jumping on the global bandwagon to be seen to be doing something to combat global warming, but not yet having found a reasonable solution. Besides, changing domestic travel isn't going to make a vast improvement, so rushing into a bad decision isn't wise.
I'd happily get in the Jaaag and drive to Edinburgh right now, confident that there'd be no problem filling up with petrol. I would not attempt than journey with an electric car. The infrastructure just isn't there. Electric is fine for a few 10s of miles to places where you can get there and home on a charge. I just don't want to have to have a bun fight over chargers in the services etc.
I can see a time when wind farms and solar power will not be sufficient to supply leccy to the National Grid when thousands more charging points are to be installed. We need proper power stations not gimmicks to ensure EVs are a viable proposition. I fill up when and where I need to and not be advised the best time to do it.
ZM you are defending what you do I get that but there are a 1000 horror stories out there. Like get to the services nearly dead and discover all the chargers are in use, wait hours for your turn, no queing system, someone pushes in when you are not looking. Hand on heart tell me you have never been stranded? It takes hours to top up with Elecetricity, 2 minutes for ICE fuel. The infracstructure ain't there and even when it is we won't have anything like the power generation capicty. Gawd we still struggle with half time in Corrie!
Progress of any kind will always have hurdles to overcome, and there will always be resistance to that progress. Had progress not taken place in the form of transport, the streets of London would still be two feet high in horse manure. The customers buying electric cars today are assisting in that progress.
