Britain getting Screwed

[BIAD]

...Now it's back down to 2 dollars and 12 cents or lower, We pay normally for Gas (petrol) 1 dollar and 99 cents
and 2 dollars and 29 cents for diesel for our truck...

We pay around 6 dollars for ours in the UK. That's a lot of tax to leave behind, unless someone-somewhere is
offering a alternative method of payment. 

...Can the National Grid meet electricity demands for this driving trend?

Nope, and I seriously doubt any 'all around' viable system would be in place in the 23 years considering the
cost against the 'hope' that this idea works. The market is driven by the customer, not a Government.

...The national grid is already showing signs it is struggling to meet current UK demands with the national grid
itself stating, “No one knows for sure how motorists will use electric vehicles in the future, but the implications
for the UK’s electricity infrastructure could be enormous.”

Which is the caveat to say it could, but we don't know.

With EV sales increasing, will this put a strain on the grid?

Bullsh*t implication. Pushing for wind-turbines and solar-panel fields in a hope to piggy-back a suggestion
is disingenuous when the size of the country, the population layout and the cost is obvious.

Could this put EV drivers at risk of returning to their car and it’s not charged due to an outage? 

Considering this proposal is initially based on hybrids, I would doubt it!

Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, Just what exactly is your power source for creating electricity?
Do you use Gas Turbines, Nuclear, Coal or What?
I ask this because,,,,,, won't the source you use to create electricity increase?
Could that Create MORE Pollution?  Just asking.

I agree with you, to create energy requires input and unless the current Government have half-a-dozen nuclear
plants waiting in the wings to go, I doubt the constant cost to keep the countrywide grid going could be done with
just the burning of of coal or gas.
Fracked-gas won't do it, importing coal from another country only works if you're on friendly terms and again is
expensive.

It's okay suggesting that these little top-up machines will be scattered across the UK, but think about how many
gas-stations the UK has and where they're positioned. If you're out in the sticks, the cost of getting electricty to
them on the off-chance someone breaks down will be seen as wasteful.

And that's the real problem here, those who're proposing the idea perceive the rest of the country from their own
position and I'll wager it's not from a farmhouse on the shore of Loch Beag.
INMHO.
