How much do you think it would cost to equip every house with a charging
point outside it in the road - done all at the same time?

There is a world of difference between parking meters, needing zero
infrastructure, or running fibre down the street and that of providing
lots of 100+ amp supplies at the side of roads every few yards - like
generation, distribution, sub-stations, plus major and expensive
improvements in the distribution network.

Not to mention the copper wombles getting an early christmas present...
