Re: The charger numbers seem a bit low.

we need millions of chargers, not tens of thousands...

Being realistic, to maintain the current way people live and travel in the UK, we need to cater for on-street charging for the millions of households who don't have a parking space on their own land, and *at least* half the parking spaces at every motorway services needs to have a charger.

That also implies we need a massive amount of grid storage and wind farm generation capacity, unless we build a lot more nuclear fission (or fusion (ho ho)) capacity. Solar is not the answer, we can't afford to carry on letting farmers turn arable land into power plants, the world population is growing and needs to be fed.
