> You don't need 350 miles of range I drive south-coast to Northumberland, weekly. I don't want to spend 30 minutes plus waiting for the car to charge 2 or 3 times on during the journey, assuming there's even a free charger. Using an electric vehicle, with the current range, would make my 365(!) mile journey about 2 hours longer than it already is. I'm not an outlier either. We have friends and family that do London to Edinburgh weekly, or fortnightly, and often further. As for " bogus "massive investment" argument" that's a bogus-bogus statement. Sorry. We need to double the energy generation in this country to go fully EV and replace all new, and old registered vehicles (there's 25 million registered with the DVLA). We need to additionally add charging points to homes, and on-street. On-street is the worst - can you imagine digging up every street in inner London that has residents with cars to satisfy 'all EV in new cars by 2030'?
