  • This idea is a non-starter Andy. We simply do not have the spare grid capacity during the day, so a supermarket with 500 off 100kW chargers would be a disaster. The incoming pylon line would have nowhere to connect! Perhaps a few solar panels would solve the problem, at around 300-400 kW per acre best case in summer, the entire surroundings would have to be roofed! The whole idea of electric vehicles for all is entirely impractical. I still want to know who pays for the infrastructure.
