No, I can't charge the iPhone EVERYWHERE, but I can charge it up enough to ensure I'm never left with it flat. Same for cars - where else do you need charging points, realistically, if you can do it at home and work? You can't plug electric cars in everywhere. But you can't fill IC cars up everywhere, either. With a bit of foresight and consideration of the logistics, EV issues are far from impenetrable. The mindset and range anxiety, however, may take a bit more sorting... Bang on the money, Neill. iPhone charge mechanics not an issue at all now, and I’m sure it’ll be easy to sort with cars, too. No, I can’t charge the iPhone EVERYWHERE, but I can charge it up enough to ensure I’m never left with it flat.

You can’t plug electric cars in everywhere. But you can’t fill IC cars up everywhere, either. With a bit of foresight and consideration of the logistics, EV issues are far from impenetrable.

The mindset and range anxiety, however, may take a bit more sorting…

People will get used to just topping up when they park, just like you stick your iPhone on charge when you're at your desk.
