> However, with 18 million (65%) of Britain’s 27.6 million households having – or with the potential to have – enough off-street parking to accommodate at least one car or van there is a huge opportunity for charging electric vehicles at home.
- deergomoo 2y agoWhoops, got that backwards, how embarrassing. 35% is still a lot though!
- insane_dreamer 2y agoYeah but you also have to factor in that public transport is much more widely accessible and used.
- deergomoo 2y agoIn bigger cities yes, and I’m certain as a baseline it’s a better situation than the US just due to the size difference, but it’s pretty poor in much of the country. Granted, lack of parking is correlated with living in big cities, but I live in what was once primarily a mining, steelworks, and ceramics town; there is a hell of a lot of terraced housing where even parking close to your house is a nightmare, let alone charging.
