The MOTO spokesman for motorway service stations was asked why the recharging points on motorways often didn't work. He said because there is insufficient capacity in the National Grid to power them. They draw an huge voltage to charge a car which is equivalent to 25% of the use of the service station per charger.
Having spoken to a man who went to Donnington to watch a motor event last week , he said the friend who took him chose to take his EV rather than his range rover. They had to be 'recovered ' at Oxford as every charger they stoppped at didn't work. It appears the National Grid can't handle electric vehicle rechargers so the problem isn't the lack of chargers its another case of under investment in infrastructure. The Grid is a ftse 100 company on the stock exchange privatised to make the 1% richer.
We are doomed to die from fossil fuels.
