There’s an end date for the internal combustion engine in the UK and it’s 2030. After that date, all cars will have to be electric. That’s just eight years away. In automotive terms, this is next week, given the long lead times and lifecycles with which the car industry operates. With the deadline to ban the sales of all new cars with combustion engines fast approaching, you would expect the UK to have a good charging network by now, in preparedness for the run up to the total shift to electric cars. But no, the charging network isn’t up to speed, which I discovered after spending four days with the Q4e-tron, Audi’s smallest EV.
