New homes in England to have electric car chargers by law:
New homes and buildings in England will be required by law to install electric vehicle charging points from next year, the prime minister is set to announce.
The government said the move will see up to 145,000 charging points installed across the country each year.
New-build supermarkets, workplaces and buildings undergoing major renovations will also come under the new law.
The move comes as the UK aims to switch to electric cars, with new petrol and diesel cars sales banned from 2030.
A turkey in every pot, and a charge point in every garage...

I am sure it's free market at work.

As a UK resident, I can assure you that the market here is NOT free - it is, in fact, extremely expensive,
and the profit goes to corrupt politicians (all those in a position to steal it). Linux is free.
Self driving cars are probably safer than politicians driving cars, but we have laws against driving under the influence, so that is not the problem it might be.
