Plenty of fast charging points would help too

For commuters *fast* charging is less essential - cars can be slow charged if there are enough points, which could approach 100% of parking spaces needing to be electrified.

That would be needed anyway as most commuters won't pop out of the office at 11 am to move their fast-charged car out of a charging bay so someone else can put their car in it for a couple of hours.

The government don't seem to have decided whether they want to reduce fossil fuel use in total, or reduce emissions in city centres. I don't think the two necessarily go together.
