not many people can fill their petrol car up at home either.
Could that possibly be down to no requirement to - Not many petrol cars on the market that need filled daily even with a long commute.
Such is the charger situation up here is that zapmap list a local hotels charge point (my closest charger hence I've scoped it out - some 15 miles away /4 as the crow flies) .... When you arrive it's plastered with "for residents use only"
EVs are NOT greenwashing.
i don't disagree with any of the figures, they certainly emit less co2 than petrol/diesel. My concern is that it's just being used as a way of continuing the car-centric transport planning at government level. There are tax subsidies for electric cars (the reason they are cheaper to lease), new roads being built everywhere, entire new build estates with no tranport other than a car and naff all money for public transport. cycling and walking. It only solves the emissions problem, but issues with accidents, traffic, noise, danger for other road users remain. We have an electric cargo bike, but still a lot of times we use a car, because everything has been designed around it. There's no safe way to cycle to the local supermarket and no secue bike parking in town for instance.
Sorry rant over.
