Would you switch to an electric vehicle even despite the serious lack of EV charges in the UK? If Britain wants to switch to electric, why does the lack of EV charges in British streets pose a hurdle?

00:00Yes, I would. Ultimately, the range is pretty good. For very long journeys, you kind of

00:10have to make plans anyway. And yeah, obviously, being able to charge at home is really, really

00:14important. So as long as I could charge at home and benefit from the cheap electricity,

00:19then yes, I'd switch.

00:20I personally don't think all electric's a great idea. I've got a hybrid car, so it's

00:26a self-charging hybrid. So if I drive it around Bristol most of the time, it's on battery

00:31mode. So personally, I don't think it's a great idea, all electric. And it's, you know,

00:36as with everything, it's getting expensive. You know, it starts out cheap. You know, you

00:40want to try charging an electric car at a motorway services station these days. Get

00:44ready for it. It's expensive. So yeah, again, there's lots of pros and cons of that argument.

00:50Personally, no, I think it's a bit of a waste of time. I rely on public transport, so I

00:55wouldn't bother about it. And if the buses or trains go electric, that's fine, you know.
