Whatever his Budget choices, I think I like this guy.

Not so sure how good it will be to be 'no more than 30 miles from a rapid charger'. Not particularly useful. Can you imagine being 30 miles from a petrol station?

A lot of the rest of it sounds good though.

Imagine Scotland, north of the Tay.

But could you imagine driving 30 miles evert time you need to fill up, not knowing if the device is available for the half hour you need to recharge? I understand there are rural areas that live with these issues now, but a petrol fillup is a five minute job.

And my experience with sparsely spaced petrol stations is that the price goes up since it will be even more expensive to go elsewhere. The same is likely to happen with EV charging.
