What infrastructure is missing? People's homes have electricity. And the longest road trip you can do in the Outer Hebrides (Rodel to Ness) is 80 miles, so there's no obvious need for mid-way charging stations.

Not if you live in an apartment building.

  Install charging in every apartment parking space. Mandate it. Fund it. It will save the country trillions from lost GDP due to climate change, if GDP is what they care about.

    Apparently people consider that things get done on this planet by 'mandating' or 'enforcing' a set of rules, procedures or outcomes. On _others_. I guess the jokes on me because I thought that people, society in general negotiate on important matters. Is my observation wrong or are you reading me as only condescending, facetious, luddite, troll?

      In general yes, but climate change is one thing that isn't going to negotiate with us. Similarly, COVID-19 doesn't negotiate, hence we mandate masks to avoid the anti-science people from getting the rest of us sick.
