My Uber driver is weaving around north London looking for a charging point for his electric car. We pass a lamp-post charger, which he dismisses as “a smart solution but slow”, and a dedicated but occupied bay for electric vehicle (EV) charging.
Here, like much of inner London, there are few homes with driveways for overnight charging, leaving drivers at the mercy of limited public points. “You’ve just got to hope no one’s there when you need it,” he says.
