I'm assuming the world and his dog know by now that the government have announced that from 2035 the sale of diesel, petrol and even hybrid cars will be banned. Only electric cars from then on. Am I the only person who thinks this is utterly unworkable and impossible to implement?
The bods who keep our lights on say that electricity production capacity would have to double. Most electric cars can't tow a caravan and have little range if they can. Charging on a fast charger takes at least forty-five minutes so won't motorway service stations need to be the size of football pitches? Cities are full of people who live in flats and have to park in the street. How are they supposed to charge their cars?
More electric cars, ok, I can see that but I cannot see how they can work for everyone. Or even most people.
