Most electric cars are charged overnight at home

That's because most are only town runabouts.

as many houses in towns dont have off road parking ie driveway or
garage how would they charge them?

You could have charging sockets wherever the car is parked up overnight.
Posts at the edge of the pavement. Exactly as are springing up round here.
Although at the moment they seem to be restricted to the very few
stretches of pavement in residential areas that aren't actually in front
of a house. Like say on the end of a street where there is a longish
garden wall from the house on the corner.

Yes but
at the moment where I have a flat in london there are only two charge points
close
one is a 35Kw the other is 75Kw but is out of service
perhaps in the future there will be more fast charge points but dont they
still take 40 minutes fo 80pc charge
in reality if elec are the only cars you will be able to drive in large
towns in the future you would need many more then one charge point per road
can you imagine a petrol station in london or anywhere else where every car
took 40minutes to refill


Specious argument. Petrol stations are designed to refill petrol.

What you would have would be a multistorey car park with a substation
built in.
