ELECTRIC CHARGING POINTS ON MOTORWAYS

If we allow fully electric vehicles on our motorways then for sure some of them are going to fail going up a steep hill.  Should the highways agency be planning to install charging points at the bottom of all hills do you think??

    What do you mean "If"?  they are already driving up and down our motorways with no restrictions.


    You seem to be under the impression that electric cars have no battery gauges and are liable to suddenly stop half way up a hill, with no warning.  In reality, it's no different to the risk of running out of petrol or diesel half way up a hill - it's only going to happen if the driver fails to check the remaining charge/fuel level from time to time.
