Re: We're moving house soon
The only possible way that this is going to work is by giving every car an electric motor and a battery that can do a few miles more than the average distance of 20 miles per day.
Then stick in a petrol (or preferably LPG) generator (not engine) that will generate enough power to sustain cruising at 70mph and put a bit of juice in the battery for when it's doing under 30 mph in a city. That'd work for everybody while making good use of the existing infrastructure that we have.
Running the entire thing of batteries is certifiably insane. We are 9 years away from the point that they are all supposed to be electric and beyond vague aspirations there is no sign of building the generating capacity required and councils have done nothing whatsoever to provide the widespread charging infrastructure required for the tens of millions of houseowners who live in terraced houses who park somewhere down the road, and literally cannot plug their vehicles into their home mains supply.
