An energy crisis has been building in Europe and beyond over the past year; as increased demand post Covid, the impact of the war in Ukraine have sent costs spiralling.
Simultaneously, there are government moves in Europe to ban the sale of new petrol and diesel cars with only electric vehicles to be available for domestic customers to buy from 2035 respectively – and the UK even earlier by 2030.
Concerns about affordability and the right infrastructure have meant, until now, electric cars have not been as competitive against other options. Yet, once petrol and diesel vehicles are no longer available for sale, then consumers will have to embrace EVs.
In times, where many of us are concerned about blackouts, and how long this crisis will go on for, then is the move to EVs realistic? And is there enough energy to really sustain a full roll out?
In this episode, our host Ginny Buckley, motoring journalist and CEO of Electrifying.com talks to Graeme Cooper, then Head of Future Markets at the UK National Grid to discuss if the energy grids around the world would be able to cope if we only had electric vehicles.
