I have driven my EV all over Europe. Czechia, rural Spain, the depths of the Cevennes. And I have never been anywhere where the charging infrastructure is remotely as shitty as Bath. Something like five high speed plugs in the entire city. Virtually no on-street charging.

The UK has the highest energy prices in the world. To make the effect clear I will list the electricity cost of making cars in three different countries. UK £6,000 USA £3,000 China £1,200 How can we compete when a standard car in China is already £5,000 cheaper just on Energy costs?
