They will adapt quicker than our generation though Foxy, and the youngest will grow up not knowing any different.

Seems to me that what they keep saying we will save in petrol, will just transfer to our electric bills instead then!
And like I asked earlier, can any electrician install these charging points I wonder, or will it be your electricity suppliers even?
Can all this mammoth demand for more and more electricty be met?

Just another thing I've thought of - what would it cost to have a charging point put in at home, and can any electrician to it?
Where's that Judd gone when we need him?
I'm not sure if that includes the cost of redecorating when your house is pulled to bits running the cables from the back of the house whether under the floorboards or hanging from the ceiling and painted white to blend in. 
Then there's the 300yrd extension cable if like me, your car is in a car park.
Of course, it won't really matter to us lot when the Ricin hidden in the covid vaccine wipes us out to make way for the wokey cokeys.

There are courses for electricians to go on how to install EV charging points in homes - these homes typically have private drives and garages to install the equipment. If you have to park on the road, you're knackered. (Sparky's technical term).
