I know your one brain cell can’t work out that it’s the people panic buying that will create the shortage. If everybody carried on as normal and bought fuel as they normally would then everything would have run as normal.
No fuel.

Hopefully the golden age of Petrol/diesel vehicles is over and their use will decline rapidly.

It was never planned - don't give them too much credit, but they are ruthless opportunist. The way they handed out contracts to their mates right in fron of the pubic and their press mates gave them a free pass.

You can drive around in your G Wiz, but I'm sticking with petrol and diesel for the forseeable. Running a tree hugger electric car is just impractical and probably will be for decades. Not enough generating capacity and charging points inadequate. Also what do people in flats or houses without driveways do?
Anyway, ending petrol/diesel cars is a Blojo promise. No chance of that then.
I see that there is a proposal to limit home charging of electric vehicles to off-peak hours in order to avoid overloading the national electricity grid. If this is necessary now then what measures are going to be needed when electric vehicles become more popular?

And we're all using air/ground source heat pumps to heat our homes.
It's a pie in the sky Blojo promise. No thought to it's implementation - just like Brexit. They're winging it, and it's falling apart at the seams.
It's all blah blah blah
If they do that, then those times won't be the off-peak hours.
I would have spotted his cherry red mean machine van from a mile off if it was.
Don't forget electric boilers, that were due to be fitted in all new builds from mid 2016. I believe that can has been punted forward twice more since.
