Simple economics won't solve one problem with EVs.
The Govt have said that the sale of new petrol and diesel cars will be outlawed in 8 years time yet there is nothing I can find in national building regs that require developers of major housebuilding projects to cater for electric vehicles.
No allowance for suitable electrical access points in houses with parking and no allowance for the subsequent installation of a minimum number of public charging points for homes without off-street parking.
Access points are just extra cost and charging point infrastructure takes up the space they could cram another 'executive' home into so there's no incentive without regulations.
