sounds like another world beater like Test and Trace. Are Serco involved?

Gotta laugh, but it is our money they are wasting on virtue signalling

They are buying electric ambulances as well, hardly any good for emergencies

They're going to have exercise bikes in the bike that generate power. The faster you pedal, the faster the Nee Naw goes

30p a KW.... WTF.

why cant they include the fast charger on the car, that way you could plug in anywhere you want...

electric vehicles are a shambles.

It highlights the issue with the infrastructure. It's getting better (as seen the vid posted further down) but it's no where near as good as it needs to be/on par with what Tesla offer.

The current CCS infrastructure far outweighs the Tesla super charging infrastructure. The early ecotricity chargers are very unreliable and because they are mainly at motorway services they get bad press. Even here in Wales I have a rapid charger just 10 miles away. My nearest Tesla charger is 40 miles away by the M6.

The point is, in an electric vehicle change your thinking and don't drive it like a fossil car. It's like your phone, charge overnight and always have enough charge for the day. It's only occasionally you need to charge out and about and you can plan that.

all very well saying charge it overnight. most people dont have a drive so are we going to get a charge point in every single parking bay that has all the propriety connections? what happens to those people that cant get an on street 'charge bay', its bad enough at the moment trying to get parked on the street. you will then get vandalised charging points etc.etc. its the UK not Canada.

are the charge cable/handles going to be lockable?
