The country will need to increase its charging footprint by more than ten-fold if it hopes to reach its end-of-decade target.

    I really do not understand this. Charging points are not much more than an electric cable. Surely it would be more appropriate to demand car park install them first? We would not need a petrol station if they were installed in parking areas.

      Not to mention that for most electric cars, it still takes hours to charge them. This idea is stupid. Mandate they install them in parking lots, not at gas stations.

        It depends on the car. Some of them only have regular charger ports. When I had a Volt I could never use the fast chargers at parking lots because it didn’t have the right port for them.

          All full EVs currently in production have rapid charging. If yours doesn’t, find somewhere to charge where you can leave it for hours - which won’t be a rapid at a petrol station.
