Electric Cars

Same here A&J but there is a place in Truro a mere 25 miles from me.

To use a point other than home I would have to drive 8 miles to an Asda which has only two points or a similar distance to a car dealership that has only two points. I wonder how many are able to charge either whilst they shop or whilst they work? Not many I suspect

Electric cars are perfect for city centre driving and should be the only type of vehicle allowed within city centres. 

Outside cities, in rural towns and villages, there is no need for electric vehicles ---- Petrol and Diesel vehicles are perfectly OK.

Not been in many city centres that require a car or at least many that involve much driving other than to reach the city for most folk. 

Correct,1500kg it is..and as my van is plated 1473kg without the OH contribution thats what made my mind up to stay with the diesel version of the Outlander...but as I said, I did see a 65 plate PHEV towing a Lunar and since then a warden on a club site says he has seen one towing a twin axle...!!!

Wonder what happens if, say, for instance, you have a terrace house and it has 2 or 3 cars in the household, how would this do to re-charge their cars.  It seems to me that the best thing to have is "car parks" solely for charging cars and that's the only place you can go to

So you have driven 80` you are already suffering from RANGE ANXIETY when you arrive at the car park with the charging points that you`ve  investigated on the internet. Oh no they are in use and six cars are waiting, its got a long way to go yet. 

Most those within a dozen miles of me have only 1 or 2 charge points. If somebody wants a full charge they may well leave it for an hour whilst they have a bite to eat and actually be two hours unless there is a time limit!

I wonder who will pay if they install power points with separate meters, similar to those on caravan pitches, along the kerbside? Will they need to add a security device to stop someone creeping out during the night and connecting up to someone else's supply? Will the cost of AA, or similar, insurance rocket sky high to cover the cost of towing electric cars with flat batteries?

If the OP’s magazine article is to be believed, then apart from providing the adequate number of charging points, electricity supply will also have to be increased to power these vehicles in whichever country they are sold.
