Yeah, that's going to be really cheap and easy to install and maintain properly isn't it. lol
It's perfectly obvious that this thing hasn't been thought through and who's going to wind up paying the bill one way or the other? Cheap electric cars and transport for the masses? Yeah right!

Re: Petrol & diesel vehicles ban.
Considering that most commuters (who use cars) travel between 10 and 100 miles per day, why not just charge them at home at night?

But how do you do that if you live in a flat or a terraced house for example with no parking close enough to allow it? Yes, it's not difficult if you have off road parking close to your house but there's precious little of that in London.

Re: Petrol & diesel vehicles ban.
According to THIS https://www.smmt.co.uk/2017/06/electric-buses-london/ 36 electric buses going into service in London next year will run all day on an overnight charge.
Some existing routes boost the charge wirelessly at the terminus from apparatus under the tarmac. Presumably car parks and even roads where cars park could be so equipped. Perhaps people could pre pay a meter in their vehicle by credit card.

All possible no doubt but how much is all that going to cost and how long would it take? ££££££££'s
Local councils can't even keep up with repairing potholes let alone relaying entire roads nationwide with the necessary gubbins and what happens when utilities guy wants to dig up the road?

Re: Petrol & diesel vehicles ban.
Well they have 20+ years to do it. Car manufacturers are moving to electric engines so either we get with it or we thrown up our hands and say it can't be done.

Re: Petrol & diesel vehicles ban.
Not sure if it has been mentioned but, imagine the fun the toerags will have pulling all the plugs from cars late at night if you have to plug them into lamposts by cable to charge for the people who do not have garages and drive ins.Walk out in the morning dead battery!.

A link has already been posted on induction charging which exists now. There's plenty of time to develop. The motor industry will be beavering away.

Typically the charger won't come out if the car is locked.

Some guy worked it out to 20 extra power station would be needed.
TBH buy then I'll be 71, so will be on my last car.
I will NEVER own a electric car in my current home.
