Long journeys take longer in an EV compared with ICE. This is the way.

You’re right, I’m wrong 😂.
But I’d propose a correction, which is a perception of a lack of charging infrastructure, rather than that being a reality (based on current charging and current EV numbers).
I’ve had one for 5 years, never had a problem (just checked with partner).

Has there been any research on barriers to take up?
I’d hypothesise a bigger barrier is the fact it’s something different (differentism?) as in fear of change. Next is cost. So bringing back the fuel price escalator helps move the dial.

We should acknowledge private car ownership as a problem, and its cost to society, and set policy to change it.
Average in Worcester (100,000 pop) is 20% of households with no car. City centre this is as high as 75%.
The average UK car does nowt for 95% of the time.
Holistically this is daft.

Kerb side, but take your point.
Agree with LAs shouldn’t be out of pocket (including investment, management, operating cost, maintenance and admin).
I’ve had an EV for 5 years, couldn’t charge at home for the first 12 months.
It was not a problem.

I’m not aware of any plans for the latter.
Eg. every household pays £1000 per car registered at an address, money to LA.
Households with no car get a £1000 rebate.

I was in London village this week. Saw lots of charging coming from lampposts (which is what’s happening in the picture). If this is established, why not start with that?
Or better, why not work harder at incentivising a reduction in car ownership / use?
