Charging your electric only car requires a charging point with a minimum of 7kW....funny how people think that a 3 pin plug is all you need (hybrids need 2.3kW this way).
Almost free and no polluting travel? I don’t think so.

The point is that once transport is electric, you can generate power from any source- nuclear, fossil, wind/wave.
