Commenting on a report by M.P.s the National Grid said that just 54 charging stations, placed at appropriate points along the strategic road network, would mean 99 per cent of drivers in England and Wales would be within 50 miles of a charge point. It estimated that this could be delivered at a cost of £800m but said "investment will be needed by industry and enabled by government".
Within 50 miles... There are no strategic roads in north Wales so 50 miles it is. The e-golf has a real world range of 120miles. Drive 50 miles top up, drive home and there is 70 miles left, 20 really because I will need 50 to get back to the strategic charging point.
54 stations for £800million, just short of £15million each and that is before the 150% cost over run
I can see the clouds, but where are the cuckoos?
