A much bigger issue is the complete rewriting of the law regarding what a
"public" highway is, if you are going to festoon it with access points
for EVs.


Can't really see the difference from allowing parking outside your house.

The fact remains everyone who has a car finds somewhere to park it when
it's not in use. So you provide charging points there.

I don't want to see the end of IC driven vehicles perhaps more than most
on here. But many of the arguments put forward against EVs are
nonsensical. Very few indeed make use of the maximum range of their car
more than a few times a year.
