The main and simple immutable fact that the government, big companies and anyone else who is pro EV is forgetting is that the UK energy grid DOES NOT have the capacity to supply the demand let alone the cabling or infrastructure to service the demand.
- The National Grid has for years been running close to or at capacity - that what has resulted in all these brown-outs we have all witness over the last few years.
- A while back a Royal-mail depot wanted to go all electric and its just wasn't possible due to there not being enough capacity on the 2 nearest substations, never mind that the cabling wasn't capable of carrying the capacity required. And because the depot was in a town, upgrading said infrastructure just wasn't financially feasible.
- That and can you see the UK gov somehow magically upgrading the electricity grid and installing all the charge points we would need in 10 years?
