Well I never. Haven't we said so for years? Ministers are catching on at last, bless 'em.

  • I looked for a short video of the Heads of the Valleys road upgraded. 


    Road building in Wales is nothing like in the Midlands or East of England, the height the ground is being raised in places is phenomenal. Here is the official visualisation   this hand held camera video gives a real idea of what is going on.


    So at a time where people have been allowed to stand in roads stopping vehicles stopping people and goods from moving around the towns and cities there is actually in reality some huge infrastructure projects improving the road network to move goods and people across the whole of European, but the EV car chargers are away from the road the a supermarket car park.


    So will battery technology improve enough for long distance journeys in an EV or will people use an alternative vehicle or other means of transport to the one they use on a daily basis?
