The Scottish Government has been going hell for leather deploying EV chargers, even in quite remote spots (arguably where they're most needed, as lots of us up here live in places where your big town 'local errand' 10 mile round trip can easily stretch to 30 miles or more).

I'm encouraged by the hydrogen component in this strategy, because we're going to need fuel cells for bigger cars, repmobiles and HGVs no matter what Elon Musk says. Using excess wind generation to produce hydrogen makes sense. If they can balance supply and demand it might even be possible to do it by simple electrolysis of water, which isn't the most efficient method but is certainly the most straightforward and the cleanest. Ideally we need a hydrogen strategy that produces modest amounts in lots of places close to where the demand is, so as to reduce tanker movements as much as possible.
