Some electric car drivers may have already encountered this situation: a long wait at charging stations on busy days, such as going on vacation. With the lot of frustration that this can cause. Moto, which manages 49 charging points on British motorways, has therefore taken the decision to hire security agents who will ensure courtesy between users following an increase in “disturbing public order”, reports the Telegraph.
An element which may seem trivial but which illustrates the complexity of the transition to all-electric, especially in a country with an aging electricity network, as Ken McMeikan, CEO of Moto, explained to our colleagues: “I told them [au gouvernement] that the grid did not have sufficient capacity to provide the electricity we need when we need it. If we fail to secure this amount of electricity, in the years to come, every Christmas, every Easter, every summer vacation and every public holiday will be the equivalent of a fuel crisis for gasoline and diesel”.
Rishi Sunak’s government has just postponed the ban on the sale of thermal engines for 5 years, from 2030 to 2035, and might therefore be forced to take other measures in the future to resolve what the Telegraph presents. like a “Charge rage”, “recharge violence”, to come.
