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...

    At the rate things are going, the ONLY reason people will ever have electric cars is because lawmakers have been purchased by the big companies to outlaw competing gas cars. Not because electric cars do what people need with few downsides, because they don't.

    Electric cars are shit.
