until the national grid is massively updated ,electric cars are not a viable option for most people
What makes you think that? The majority of people in the UK travel less than 10,000 miles per year or 192 miles a week. So even with a short range EV like mine, you would only have to charge it about once every 3-4 days...
Whether they make economic sense for most people is a whole different question. But its the same question you could ask about any new car.
we don't have the power stations to cope
much of the grid is antiquated HV infrastructure
a big chunk of domestic supply cabling in the street is run over capacity and is ancient
DNOs have down-rated many cut outs to 60A
the UK national grid needs a complete overhaul before the government push electric cars onto us all
that will cost billions , recycling are current cars uses masses of energy,
harvesting and shipping the raw materials for electric cars or green energy generation uses masses of energy
"carbon footprint" wise , swapping to electric cars is crazy
to do any good, public transport needs massive a overhaul to be usable ,so people don't have personal cars
all the updates will cost a gallilion £££££ ,massive carbon footprint and more pollution
for some people, electric cars will work, for some push bikes work , some walk
electric cars for all will NOT work
