Comment on The Quiet Driving Force Behind Rising Curtailment Costs in Great Britainparent

That's fair, but also, a plurality of households have off-street parking, so the amount we need to solve for is already lower.

We DO need to solve for it though, because it's ridiculously cheap to drive an EV in the UK if you can have an L2 charger installed (2p per mile versus 20p per mile for even an efficient diesel/petrol car) and that should be made available to all.

Is the solution chargers in every lamp post? Or on every off-street parking, with billing tied back to your energy provider (allowing you to use smart tariffs like Intelligent Octopus Go)?
