>MPs on the Transport Select Committee have also said people must be protected from excessive pricing for public electric car charging
Surely competition can handle this, as it does with gas stations?
Shocking
I see all planning applications for a small Borough Council (about two and a half thousand applications a year). I’ve noticed that more and more applications for new builds have been voluntarily including charging points for the last year or so, which has been a welcome trend.
Like an actual fast charging station or like a dryer outlet in the garage? I’m guessing the latter is a lot chapter and it’s good enough to charge overnight.
Why? Building a sustainable power grid should be top priority. We’re gonna go into a long term blackout in the next 5 years. That means no cash, no food, no water, no, gas, no petrol, no law. Hell will literally open up.
I read an interesting take on car charging points. For the substantial portion of houses (such as mine) which do not have a garage, driveway, or meaningful front garden that might become one what would being likely unable to have a car charging point mean? Would those houses become essentially unsellable?
FWIW I don’t think electric cars are a solution – really having mass private car ownership is inherently in conflict with building sustainable cities worth living in. In new build estates the amount of space given over to cars at the expense of actual living space is truly staggering.
They’ll never take me out of my comfy Victorian terrace with good public transport links. I will not live in the Deanobox.
Don’t you have to get a Ph.D in Driving to operate a car in Old Blighty?
IMO it is good. Change to all electric personal cars is inevitable. But if someone does not have way to charge car then he will not buy electric vehicle. And if someone does not have electric car why would he buy charger.
For me, the technology still isn’t ready for that leap, 8y seems too optimistic to me. I think it will be the same fiasco as the vaccinations – too many restrictions = too many people that don’t agree with the change.
Do all new homes in England have a parking spot?
But how do you get your car up if you live in the 10th floor?
It sounds good on paper till you realise England are building 0 houses a year to keep the property bubble going
It’s about time solar panels were mandatory on new builds too.
Such an easy change to make, and costs bugger all in the grand scale of things.
Why on Earth would you mandate something that makes driving appear even more appealing. If they are anyway banning fossil fuel cars the market would surely make sure that the people in want for chargers get them.
They’ll not have a drive way though
Thats positive
Germany is mandating diesel pumps in new homes. Coal heat too.
Why would you want to encourage car ownership like that
r/fuckcars even electric ones
It is 2021 and people still assume that everyone wants to have a car?
