I read that we will need 7 new power stations to create the energy needed if all cars are electric by 2040.. and I don't here any talk about that from Westminster.. (Ha!)..
I think this 'statistic' has been debunked. It assumed that all electric cars would plug in to charge at the same time apparently. A bit like every petrol/diesel car turning up at filling stations at the exact same time. Imagine what chaos that would cause!
