It's amazing how electric milk floats have vanished.
Still one or two around apparently, but I've not seen any.

Point 1
Does anyone think petrol stations will just continue as fewer and fewer oil fuelled vehicles are out There?
You'll end up travelling miles to fill up.

Point 2
Producing this extra electricity that will be needed will not be from nuclear power stations. Any other power stations built to meet need will be producing massive amounts of pollution.

Burning stuff, you fuckin planet killing twat :)

Meh - the mess won't be mine to sort out and if we leave the future to our kids with all the problems solved they will get lazier and more stupid - I want the bastards sweating over their future and trying hard to resolve difficult questions..............

Apparently an additional 15% generating capacity will be required. But by then I would expect/hope that it should be possible to recharge cars overnight, when electricity demand is much lower, with enough juice to keep it going comfortably throughout the following day.

a laudible aim - meanwhile one can fill a fossil fuelled car from empty to brim in 5 minutes - not everyone has that amount of time available to refuel
