I did my own energy audit on my insulated 1950s bungalow.
For every KW of electric I use 6 kw of gas.
If I use an electric car it would ipuse the same as I use domestically in electric.
To go all electric I need 8x the electric I currently use. I need to invest £30,000 in a car. The electric industry need to produce over 16x the current green energy. They need to increase the grid and cable capacity to cope with 8 times usage.
Or my home needs to be demolished and rebuilt to carbon natural standard at a cost of £300,000
Where does that money come from? Possible if you are earning £40-50k but for the millions below that , and the retired, disabled etc. Who will subsidies their electric car, house rebuild or grid investment?
