In fifteen years time about 75-80% of cars on UK roads are likely to be EVs, which means that millions of available charge points will be needed, says James May.

Great to see some well-reasoned and non-partisan comments on the potential of EVs from such a high-profile figure, in a debate that is often highly polarised. Have a listen and see if you agree with him.
