Part and parcel of the UK push toward electric vehicles.

Spotify has been running constant Ada for them for a year now saying "By 2033 all vehicles in the UK will be electric. Do your part to help EV take hold in the UK by petitioning for EV charge points across the country".

And if you can hear it for yourself, they really accentuate the WILL. Couple it with the hiking of costs on petrol, near illegalisation of diesel and massive tax cuts and benefits for buying an EV...

Problem is yet again as I've said before, all EVs do is move the pollution source from an engine to a power plant.

Power plants that still brown out at peak times. And they expect to add cars charging to that network?
