Default Electric cars a step nearer mainstream?

Roland Perry gurgled happily, sounding much like they
were saying:

Listen.... the poles and sockets aren't the problem. Getting power
to the poles *is*. Think a 300 space car park: ho much wiring and how
many amps is that?


No worse than a medium factory.


I'm surprised a medium factory would take that much power, but the most
difficult part inside the car park is wiring up every bay to the feed.


....not to mention what happens when some numpty cocks up parking and
takes the pole out of the ground.

Then, of course, there's the scrote factor - how many of these street
poles will be being tapped for domestic electrickery?
