I have a hard time imagining an electric car working for me. There are two charging points within a 2-mile radius and I cannot park within about 15 meters of my house so it is just impossible to charge one.

Hydrogen or something where I can still go to a "filling station" might work. Right now I view electric cars as a tax break for anyone lucky/rich enough to have a driveway.

This might all change in a few years but I doubt there will ever be enough charging points on local roads.

Before there were petrol stations everywhere, it would have been hard to imagine a car working better than a horse.

And yet here we are.

But you still can't put the cart before the horse. Tax people who don't switch to a viable, cleaner alternative from dinosaur-burning vehicles, but not before you've made that alternative viable in the first place. Much (most?) of the UK is not ready for full switchover yet.

Is there a fuel station at your home or within two miles etc?

Why are you happy for the filling station to not be on a local road but the charging point must be? Because of time? 30 minutes will get you 80% charge on must current super chargers. Next gen ultra chargers will probably bring that down to 10 minutes.

80% is enough for maybe 200+ miles in the latest EV - so in 14 years I'm reasonably confident that'll still be available or better.

Also, why do you drive? To get to work? Petition for chargers at work perhaps? 14 years to get them onside. Charging doesn't have to happen at home.

I have a hard time imagining environmental destruction and poisonous air working for me.
