Solar panel waste may not be nearly as bad as we once thought

I'm in the UK too. I think the 2030 date is unrealistic. I'm pro-electric cars but we're still a long way away from it being the only option. At the very least we need widespread on street charging for the half of people who don't have the option to charge at home. Rapid charging is ok but not suitable for exclusive use.

builtInThe70's apartment building. I can't convince the management body to take this seriously.

I don't want to install chargers everywhere. I just want a thought out plan.

IE have a planned build for the electric backbone sometime in the future, and each owner can build their part and be connected when they wish.

Where I live there is already a pilot scheme in operation that implements this. It does need to be rolled out more widely, but I think the technology is relatively simple, so it might well be doable. 8 years to roll it out doesn't sound ridiculous (although we probably ought to get a move on). Also, remember that 2030 is only the date for halting new car sales. Most cars will still be ICE for at least 5 years after that.
