Very true.
Unfortunately there is not a single standard at present of charging points or even charging cables.
Different connectors are currently:- Type 1, Type 2, Chademo, CCS, Commando, Tesla and the UK standard MK three pin power socket.
So who is going to pay for the installation of public charging stations?
Looking at Zap maps then there are charging stations located at dealers who sell EV, but in practice what use are they to anyone who has an EV since most dealerships are located in out of town Motor Villages. Where I live Audi, Merc, Toyota, Seat, Skoda are all located in a motor city development with Mini, BMW, Jaguar, Fiat, Ford and Volvo are all near the docks and one mile from the City Centre, Nissan are by themselves and a steep uphill walk of 3/4 mile to get to the City Centre.
Is your company going to install charger stations or even allow you to use their 240v sockets to charge your EV whilst you are at work?
Are Supermarkets going to install charging stations so that you can charge whilst you shop.
If EVs are going to have a 300 mile range then will public chargers be required?
How will those EV owners who have no off street parking going to charge their cars?
Too many questions, not enough answers.
Maybe if the BBC cut the gross overpayment of their stars (Evans £2mil per annum which equates to about £5k per hour for his radio show) then they could se the cash saved to install a whole host of charging stations.
