With massive new infrastructure required, at least 25 million roadside charging points required, ( that's 4,000 a day if we start installing them today), more than a third of Britons commute by car, all arriving home after work, and plugging their cars in.

Another20 gigawatts required...that's double what we currently use.

The plan to rip put all gas powered central heating in domestic homes...and replace with electric...then the problem of being unable to source all the lithium needed for the electric cars that replace petrol/diesel cars... the need to use rare-earth metals such as neodymium to make magnets that make electric motors run, China controls 80% of the global market for rare-earth metals.

Can anyone see any problems in the future ???
