There are 10 or maybe its 12 in Thorne on the B&M McDees Aldi site and of course they are always full of Cars that dont need themI have only seen 2 cars ever charging there - but being convenient for the Shops they are always full so anything that could mean people dont need out and out charging spots (or we all need them) would help though it seems a long long way off

Makes you yearn for the days of great comedians like...Little and Large.
Most business duel fuel reps cars are handed back with the charging point mechanism unused and in their original covers when sold. They are being used for tax reasons. The report said that a large percentage had never been used as an electric vehicle on the road.

Syd, Corbyn will have a low mileage company car for sale cheap.
Regardless of charging times or cables crossing pathways, 2 things to consider, the sheer cost of EVs is outrageous, compared to petrol/diesel cars when you consider one important factor. The battery degrade over time considering they are just laptop batteries to an extent. A quick search on autotrader shows the cheapest EV on sale that wasnt a geewhiz, was an2011 model Nissan leaf. 6 grand, so that means the first time drivers are struggling if they are teens on low wages. But the biggest problem and it headlines this on the advert! Range is only 50 miles between charge!!! Wtf!!! So 6k for a city car, and that's the cheapest. My brothers firm bought a 100k Tesla, only gets 200 miles from a charge now!Price to buy, time of recharging, longevity of batteries, infrastructure to actually charge are currently a million miles away from being an alternative method of mass transport!! Anyone thinking otherwise is living in cloud cuckoo land!
People on low incomes couldn't afford petrol cars either my parents never had a car.
