Try telling the idiot tenant next to my Dad's premises that trespassed so he could get the cable to stretch from his front window to his battery contraption. Parked 2 feet from the front door. He seemed surprised that we didn't want his car parked our land - only "once a week" according to him.
Typical EVangelist!
The UK were the first to develop and adopt many things. Being the first adopter, does one no financial favours at all - all the expense, then perhaps development might find an entirely different and incompatible path. EV's will likely be just a temporary blip, to be replaced by something better, and more environmentally friendly.
We developed railways, only to eventually be left way behind, as other countries took advantage of our expensive mistakes, and were able to avoid them.

That's great, but sounds like a right faff. Can you programme the car to only accept 80% charge, or do you have to pull the plug at the right time?
There are folk telling you what the future will bring, (a gradual phasing-out of ICEs) but you don't seem to want to believe them...
Yep, both on home chargers, and when oot an' aboot.
It is just a setting; no different to you changing the windscreen auto-wipe sensitivity, or whatnot.
You have to remember, EVs are computers; very fast computers.
The future, in regards to - your need to charge your EV. Having to predict, in advance, how much charge you might need in, in your milk float.
Obviously, your milk float, will only be a passing phase, to be replaced with something more practical.
For whom?
Your car is fine for you.
Regan's can would not be.
My car is practical for my needs and, if I might be so bold, Avocet would say the same of his.
oh I believe them - I just dont think EV - as they are at the moment are the answer.
You read what a technological feature could do.
But that's not what I asked, is it.
I asked for proof of this:
i.e. proof that they will, not "could", WILL, take ALL of the power out of your car overnight and WILL later not let you charge it.
Want to try again?
A way to maybe make it work has occurred to me - simple pricing tariffs, if we get to the stage of dynamic pricing based on grid load. Wouldn't be rocket science to have a EV tariff with more attractive rates for charging than non-EV ones (which I think some suppliers already offer?) to encourage EV owners to sign up, and peak demand-management prices set high for EV customers who don't also sign up for V2G, and lower for those who do.
It would have to be tied into EV tariffs, as you can't penalise non-EV owners for not joining in V2G.
Virtuous vessel!!!
Feel free to not use it if its mere existence offends you so much.
Go ahead walk through your life with the trust of a child.

Jut a quick show of hands from the other EV divers on here please? Does anyone else park on other peoples' drives to charge their EVs?
Reagan here, seems to think it's "typical" behavior?
P.S. extra points if you do it AND you're brown...
