Re: The charger numbers seem a bit low.

National Grid is responsible for transmitting electricity over the existing lines and upgrading them when their customers (the generating companies and the local electricity companies) pay for the upgrades. They have warned repeatedly that the current infrastructure (both generation and transmission) is insufficient for mass movement from ICE vehicles to EVs and from gas heating to electric heating (heat pumps). However the government is currently lead by an idiot with a "green" idiot for a wife so messages that are against the "green" agenda are ignored by the government (and by its lapdog the BBC),

If (when?) people find that they cannot charge their cars or heat their homes because of insufficient electrical capacity they might finally realize that a lot of the "green" ideas are impractical verging on complete stupidity.
