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.

    I was surprised recently to find that the number of miles travelled per person per year has been reasonably stable. Government data give the number of cars and average annual mileage: multiply one by the other and the result has been stable.

    This perplexes me because I cannot go as fast as I used to do or overtake because the gaps are not there. Gone are the days when I did 140 mph in my TR6 on the M27! ??
