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 ???
Charging posts won't be required as all the batteries will be plug in.

Drive into a garage and an automatic battery changer will unplug and plug in a new battery in less than a minute.

Discharged battery drops down and moves aside while a new battery raises up and plugs and locks in automatically.

As quick as filling up with petrol or diesel.

Garages, instead of having under ground tanks will just have a large storage shed with automatic turn around on the batteries.
