There is a world of difference between parking meters, needing zero

improvements in the distribution network.


We already have a high amp supply to nearly every house. Largely unused at
night. Nor will the average car user need to charge the battery from empty
to full every night.

Not sure of the current figures but average car mileage used to be given
as about 10,000 miles a year. That is less than one full charge a week.
