For reasons which I completely fail to understand, some risks are treated in entirely different ways to others. In some areas a decision is made by "someone" (an entirely hidden person or body) that a risk must be avoided at all costs, often totally unreasonably large costs compared to the risk, say for arguments sake £1 billion per death, and in other cases that deaths on a small scale are acceptable. Here we are probably discussing the first case, whilst all other uses of the car follow the second case. If we changed to all electric cars it is likely there would be 30 million charging points around the country, some in services, most in peoples homes. Let us say that each costs on average £500. Thus we spend 15 billion pounds to save maybe 1 life a year. But we loose 1500 lives in cars from accidents for which we accept as a reasonable risk. There is something completely out of kilter here, and it is this worry about vehicle charging points and the possible risks, which are actually very small indeed. Perhaps someone, preferably the "someone" above, would care to make a reasonable logical case for this difference to me, and the public at large?
