EV charge times

lyledunn

Apparently from September 2021 charge points placed on the U.K. market are required to be factory set not to charge during peak times, 8-11am and 4-10pm. Although the parameter can be altered by the user, it is a recognition that things are getting tight.

    It's a grid lock with traffic in some areas at peak times and electric vehicles will not alleviate that problem. There are simply too many vehicles on the roads. Also residential areas, have escalating parking problems with vehicles being parked on pavements and other areas, causing a hazard. 

    Entirely agree. It seems to me there's much wrong with just about every transport system we have - much of which seems to stem from being based on old technology - 200 years old in the case of rail and nearer 2000 year old in the case of roads. I wonder (just as a thought experiment) what we could come up with today if we could start from fresh using today's technology, materials and so on.
