Most electric cars will be charged at home, by night.
It's the only way the system could stand it.


As I have pointed out to various people several times, that would require a
complete change in house building policy to work

This preference of developers to build estate with communal parking (to get
better land utilisation), and for people to convert their integral garages
into living rooms would have to stop.

all houses would have to be supplied with a proper garage and planning rules
would have to forbid conversion, otherwise people wont have the facilities
to charge up at home - Charging up on the street, unguarded, overnight just
isn't going to work.
