The purchase cost of an EV is still prohibitive for many and this in itself will be the biggest problem. Then requiring all homes to go all electric is another one which will cost the populace loads of dosh. FWIW I don't see this as party political since whoever won the latest election would be backed into the ER/Saint Greta myth.
I've still got my name on the Mach E but I keep seeing Focus STs.........

One of the reasons for all of the propaganda for EVs is so that they can use them as a battery storage for the grid . V2G . I did read that they wanted to be able to take back up to 20 GWh of energy from plugged in cars for when the blackouts come .That would be nice , finding that your car had all of its charge taken out of it one night .
But the car manufacturers are not very keen . Because Li batteries have a limited life of just so many charge cycles , the manufacturers are worried that a lot more battery sets would be failing within their guarantee period.
So I would be looking a bit closer at the Focus Peter .
