Electric car charge points to overtake fuel pumps

I walked past our local Tesco a couple of weeks ago and noticed 6 charge points - all occupied. The car park probably held 200 cars at the time.

I can't help feeling we're heading for a bit of a cock-up with electric vehicles, especially as the electricity needs to be generated by something, and those somethings are soon to be banned or sold at very high prices . . . could be paying £1 a mile by 2030

We've had this open last year in Manchester, which I'd need if I switched to electric as I don't have a driveway. It replaced a ICE fuel station that had already closed and was being used as a hand car wash.

Independent forecourt operator, Motor Fuel Group (MFG), has opened its first all-electric vehicle (EV) charging station in Stretford, Manchester.

With support from its power infrastructure partner Energy Assets Networks (EAN), the site comprises eight 150kW ultra-fast charging points, which enable battery recharge in 20-40 minutes, along with retail convenience store, food to go, restroom and vehicle valeting facilities.
