It depends. If 'they' tax the f**k out of diesels etc or ban them

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.

Yes. Although for perhaps most, charging overnight at home would give
enough range for the next day's use.

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.

The government doesn't know their arse from their elbow when it comes down
to emissions. Everyone with any knowledge of the subject knew diesels
produced more harmful emissions, then as now. It's only CO2 they produce
less of.
