I'll just throw this in for a bit of fun.
Per the Sunday Times motoring correspondent last Sunday, it is now more expensive to charge an EV at a "fast" public charging point (if you can find one that's working) mile for mile than it is to use diesel. Speculating that if HMG wish to pursue this nonsense of 2030, they will have to come up with some sort of help for EV users.
Its OK for those with home chargers (providing you don't drive far from home), or those using overnight trickle chargers as fitted to lamp posts somewhere in the UK (probably London - haven't seen any around here).
Fact also quoted: 31 million ICE cars currently on the road, 510,000 ev's. VW group (incl Audi and Porsche) are spending big bucks on developing engines running on bio fuels - as per F1 from 2026. Audi are signing up to F1 with a comment that they see bio fuels as the way forward for the masses. I can't help thinking that Carrie Johnson has jumped in far too quickly with the EV idea, hopefully the new Government will see sense and extend the deadline to a more realistic target.
