Electricity has to be created, alongside anything that has to use it. Stay with me.You can only use electricity once. It can only be used once, then it has gone.You can not recycle it. Therefore, the generation of it must be continuous. It already is continuous, but to cope with all the EVs that are forecast to be produced in the future, where is all this electricity going to come from? We already have a gross deficit of production capacity for electricity in this country and have to import it from different countries, France being the main supplier, along with Norway and Holland I think it is? If every country pushes EVs, they will have less capacity to sell electric to ourselves, so where does it come from? Answers on the back of a microdot please to:- HMG, 10 Downing Street..

Self charging has already happened.
