What happens re lorry batteries. How do these perform? How much longer will a journey take from say Poland to the UK and how much extra will the journey cost paying for a drivers down time or would taco limits mean that enough charge could be taken at a taco break to go to next staging point some 4.5 hours later.
Will current petrol station sites be big enough to cope with cars needing to charge? An 8 pump station can deal with dozens of cars an hour how many in an electric station? 8?
Motorway stations would not be a problem hopefully as all the parking could be "electrified" but if you are down to the red mark on a motorway and you cannot access a motorway station "Sorry all charging points full please proceed to next station" what do you do?
In a tower block area how do all the residents access battery power as there will not be enough curb space to accommodate there cars etc.
I watch a website called Gridwatch
http://www.gridwatch.templar.co.uk/ Yesterday or the day before the UK was burning about 2.5GW of coal as wind was minimal when demand was nearly up to 42GW. How much more infrastructure (windmills?) is needed to actually generate the extra 2.5GW on a minimal wind day in winter when coal is no longer burnt? Incidentally the interconnectors were running at peak as well.
Can the existing underground street electric infrastructure/substations cope with the extra loads bearing in mind that most of it in London, in residential streets, dates back to the 1920's?
We have many stories promoting electric cars which must come but not much on confirming the infrastructure will all be in place when needed? Similar to the Oven ready deal. Don't worry it will all alright on the night?
I think I have veered off forum Apols.
