[QUOTE="warksfarmer, post: 7861587, member: 192"] It’s not the charger infrastructure it’s the grid capacity. You can put a million charging points in but if there’s no grid capacity they don’t work. And with any big business the people at the top have zero idea about what occurs on the ground. Just look at the Nfu. They are completely disconnected with the reality of agriculture. I prefer to listen to a guy who’s worked in the elec industry for 40 + years. His job is trouble shooting for WP and he says the grid can’t cope with what the government are proposing. The gov promised a grid upgrade about 5 years ago. So far nothing because we’re talking billions and billions. The upgrade and connection for our solar farm was £1.5 mill and that was 4 new poles and a 150m cable run. Imagine the cost of upgrading the entire 33 kva network. It’s mind boggling figures and all for some elec cars that are actually bad for the environment due to the way the batteries are constructed. [/QUOTE]
