MP Brandon Lewis is ecstatic about the latest taxpayer bung for EVs:

Quite why taxpayer should pay for EV chargers is beyond me.
But what will the citizens of Great Yarmouth actually get for these millions?
Just 32 chargers, according to the local council:

And they are only 22 Kw chargers, so will take hours to charge up:
Yarmouth has 100,000 inhabitants, so I somehow don’t see 32 chargers being quite enough.
And for that poor guy who cannot charge at home, does Mr Lewis expect him to sit in a carpark for hours on end on the way home from work.
And heaven knows what will happen when there are a dozen cars in the queue ahead of him.
His frankly contemptuous comment about such drivers shows just how badly our politicians are detached from reality. I have little doubt that Lewis has a nice large house, with ample room for cars. And I also suspect he has a proper car to use, when he is not virtue signalling.
