What Alan says above. Plus my experiences of EV (my brothers a car dealer selling high end cars, several of my neighbours have them)
I live in Wales, it rains here a LOT, it's dark gloomy cold and damp. My EV driving friends are afraid to use the heaters lights or wipers because it affects the range, which from what I'm told has no relation to the supposed figures issued by the makers.
My brothers experiences of delivering EV all over the country would fill a book, suffice to say he wont touch one with a 10 foot pole himself, always having a pertol model.
Something like 64% of British houses dont have drives, thats on street parking, or car parks near flats, thats a lot of cables across the pavement, assuming you can park outside your own house.
Yes everybody without a drive could all drive to the nearest charging point on the way to work, but those 3 charging points are going to be busy... very busy, and in the real world people wont do that every day, they've got better things to do. Like stick £20 of diesel in and drive all day, with the lights and heater on.
I keep seeing "new battery tech!" shouted about all the time, indeed I remember it from when I was a child, oddly 70 years later they havent changed much, yes the new ones hold more power and last longer, but most normal batteries you buy in the shops are the same tech we had in the 1960s.. No nuclear fusion torch batteries that last a lifetime. Indeed the two most used comon car battries are still "wet cell". Yes, that tech is used because quote "cost-effectiveness, reliability, adaptability, energy storage capacity, and recyclability make them competitive in specific application scenarios.".
Then theres the what do we charge them with? We only have about 12% over normal max use generating capacity. A few years ago the UK laid cables through the channel tunnel in order to use electric from abroad when we ran low. Bung another few million electric cars charging all night and the lights are going to go out.
Finally, EV have got a bit of a reputation for catching fire, as have lithium batteries in general. Anybody remember the old advert from the 1980s with a cat and a mouse? You know the "come home to a real fire one"?....
