Electricity bill is expected to be a lot higher next winter for those who do not fix prices now https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p09k3ywd Soon EV will cot as much as petrol to drive per mile.
Which supplier is doing 11.891p please?

The reason I voted No is that we are not at the point that the charging infrastructure is adequate, not with the short range of many EVs, nor do I think it will be by 2030 either.

Moto has just opened a brand new services at Rugby and they've made a big song and dance about the charging facilities? How many chargers for non-Tesla vehicles do you think they've installed to warrant this big song and dance?

A: 12

Feckin 12 chargers in a brand new services, and that's assuming they all work!
