[QUOTE=Macca;1221030] it's the equivalent of boiling 250 full kettles of water. It will take about 7 hours to fully charge the car from a domestic socket, so it's like boiling the kettle 35 times an hour for seven hours.
Right now the option of charging your EV at work is ok, when it's just Duncan in HR and his new Nissan Leaf God bless him, but what about when all the employees have been made to "go electric"? If the company has 50 employees that would be equivalent of boiling 12,500 kettles every day. If your gaffer is like my old boss who went round switching off lights in unoccupied rooms, he's not going to be happy with that set up
Perhaps the government will subsidise this cost as an incentive, as it would probably be cheaper than building more power stations. I heard somewhere that a nuclear power plant takes about 20 years to come online, so they'd better get their skates on.
