How are we all to charge electric cars?

THE government has laid down net-zero targets that mean motorists in the near future will be driving electric vehicles (EVs) rather than their petrol or diesel-powered equivalents.

Or will we? I say this because I live in a street of terrace houses so am clueless as to how I will charge an EV. If I had off-street parking it would be easy enough to install a charging point, but like millions of others in the UK, I do not have that luxury.

I read that trials are taking place for street lights to be converted into EV chargers. There are four lampposts in my street and 26 houses, so how’s that going to work? Some households have more than a single vehicle. Most days I struggle to park in my own street, never mind near my house.

Sorry, but I just don’t see how this will work, and that’s before you take into account the extra cost of buying an EV.

You get the feeling a lot of these green policies have not been thought through.

The economic impact on ordinary people will be huge but the politicians seem oblivious.
