Cars are one of the four areas Boris Johnson has promised action on at COP26 but with more and more people making the switch to electric, how good is the current infrastructure?
Philippa Oldham, a director and engineer at the Advanced Propulsion Centre UK, said the uptake of electric cars requires a behaviour change for driversSo the journey to my first charging stop at Norton Crane Services on the M6 Toll was a breeze.
He'd had an electric car for three months and rated his experience 50:50. He loved his car, but not the charging infrastructure. She said cars have become a serious proposition for motorists, with many now capable of well over 200 miles, roughly three times the range of the best-selling electric just eight years ago.But my car could still take almost an hour to charge up - far longer than I would normally spend at a service station.
"It is still often the second car and many people can't afford two cars so there is a big challenge in bringing the cost down and making it accessible to everybody.My next charging stop was Tebay Services. But once again I hit a hitch.Two rapid charging points were out of action. Another wouldn't work because the machine was already charging another car.
