Not at all. You're quoting from a report based on data from a Net Zero campaign. But let's give it the benefit of the doubt and assume it's accurate, 60-70% having access to electric overnight.
That's still leaves millions (?) of households with on street parking.
Most commuters outside cities get on quite ok with normal cars - because they have to - and a third of them is hardly "niche".
- hdgvhicv 2mo agoIt’s an RAC report, they are on the side of car owners. You’re combining. My mother doesn’t have off street parking as she lives in a town. She’s one of the 30% If she had a typical ev she’d have to charge it once a month. You’re talking the 30% without off street parking and have high mileage (same needing more than one charge a week).
- mellosouls 2mo agoThe average mpy is 7k, so let's say a weekly charge is more accurate. You can probably get away with that in most cases with on-street parking with a mix of commercial chargers and work if you're lucky. That "probably" is the point. Your average normal car user (especially in financially challenged times) fighting for a car space on their street is not motivated to take on that higher risk at higher cost in a less competitive market to keep the equivalent of HN demographics happy.
