Only if we all started at once. What will really happen is it will take
decades for everyone to take them up, and the substations will be

more money, they can spend that on the transformers.

ROFL. The RECS will be 'persuading' the government to force electric
car owners to have a smart meter and either charge them all the missing
fuel duty and car tax via their leccy bill, or simply tell the meter to
instruct the car to stop charging when a brownout situation occurs.

The usual bull**** about the electricity being dirty, even though we're constantly adding solar and wind etc everywhere.
