There was also a piece on the Beeb today. Thank you to Mike for the link.
Smart charging (in both senses) seems to be the answer: there will not only be “spare” capacity for generation, but also distribution during off-peak periods.
Politically, the aim is laudable enough, but perhaps not so realistic. Nobody seems to want to consider the energy consumption (and CO2 emission) involved in making a vehicle. In the days of Minis and Escorts, you were lucky to keep a car on the road for much more than 10 years because of rust, and wear in the running gear. 20 years is now a perfectly reasonable expectation.
