    Read my post again Dave. And then read my further posts.

    It's helpful if you actually read rather than make up things and attribute them to me.

    No you're not - the backup plan for wind power after they closed all the proper power stations was to have fields full of diesel generators. I'm not joking. I don't know if they're still going to do that, it was a few years ago now.

    I love Hendrix for so many reasons. He was so much more than just a blues guitarist - he played damn well any kind of guitar he wanted. In fact I'm not sure if he even played the guitar - he played music. - Stevie Ray Vaughan

    I apologise - you did write 40 million charging points - also somewhat speculative, but the inference about millions of miles of extra cabling is very probably incorrect - unless you are considering other aspects. If 40 million chargers are actually "required" then it should be possible to do that with around one million or so miles of additional cable - maybe less.

    Anyway just had an "interesting" discussion down at a charger which I found - possibly free. A couple turned up with a Zoe looking for a top up charge to get them to their destination. Turns out they intended to arrive in this area yesterday, but the cable they used to charge the car at their last stop would not release from the car, so they had to book a room and stay overnight. Not good!

    .... and I'm suggesting that it's actually going to be a million or less.
