EVs will put the lights out in this country and others unless the infrastructure, the national grid is upgraded.

Where does the leccy come from? that'll be powerstations then, again a massive upgrade needed in generating capacity if EV's are going to progress from expensive novelty to mass transport that can replace the IC engine.

True to a certain extent but in most case's EV's are going to be charged during the night when the grid is being used the least, this will keep the National Grid happy as it will keep it working at a more efficient level.
