I just stood for 10 minutes at a
slot fairly quiet crossroads near my office in Cambridge. during that time I've seen six electric vehicles (EVs) -- three VW ID.3s, a Nissan Leaf, a Nissan white van, and a Renault Zoe -- three years ago. If I stand in the same place I would definitely have seen zero such vehicles. And what comes to mind is Ernest's famous answer. Hemingway to the question: How do people go bankrupt? "Two ways," he said, "step by step."
Something similar is happening about the adoption of EVs in the UK. Hockey stick graphs are common in consumer technology. We saw this in the early years of cell phones when adults ignored texting as an inferior form of email. But as pay-as-you-go tariffs arrived and teens could have phones, SMS skyrocketed. the arrival of the children represent the turning point This was a period during which a group quickly changed behavior using a previously rare practice.
