"Will be addressed" - a nice throwaway line. "Addressed" how exactly?

And no, it doesn't affect <pedant> fewer </pedant> people than we think. In London, 75% of people get to park on the street. Yes, London would be the worst case in the country, but that's still a lot of people (and therefore market). Yes, a lot of people outside the high-density areas will be fine - but densities are high in some areas for a reason.

Yes, you could argue that people in London don't need cars, and the public transport is better than most places in the country, but that's not really the point here.

Providing charging in high-density areas will be neither easy nor cheap. I'm quite in favour of EV's in general, but we can't just ignore major blockers to uptake.

But back to fast charging: am I the only one worried about overheating due to pushing a large amount of energy down to a battery in a short time like this?
