Ah, feel bad for those 10 million poor souls who don't fall into the "most" category

They can Uber. Remember, you'll own nothing and you'll be happy.

Ah, you're right, how could I forget! I trust every business and government to meet or exceed SLAs all day, every day, for everyone :)

Far more important than a charging station network is investment in on-street charging for people who don't have access to a garage.

Same situation anywhere else. Can't they build more streetside charge points?

I lived in London for 20 years until I escaped five years ago, 15 years in a terrace street where parking occupancy was 85% or higher most of the time (except when Google last scanned it) and almost 100% in the evenings.

It was sometimes hard to get parked here never mind near your house or by a lamp post. Take a look at the street on Google street maps (Link below). These are old houses built over a century ago and many are now multiple occupancy with 1-3 cars per house. Counting lamp posts and cars (when full) there's probably one lamp post to every 15-20 cars. So lamp post charging is not going to work practically here and this is typical of many such streets.

"This is just a minor detail and I'm sure the government will sort it out, they have 10 years to do it after all!"

is probably their deceptive response.
