Let me help you with that.
But if you talk to people who actually work for National Greed and are responsible for patching up the creaking electricity generating and supply system you will discover it is not the sunlit uplands described in the official FAQs at all.

A cold, cloudless winter night followed by a windless day (standard high pressure scenario) means no wind power and very little solar - the UK hasn't invested in tidal power so where in fact is the electricity going to come from?

When you factor in how few charging points there are and how many houses have only on-street parking, there is nothing like the required infrastructure in UK to support full EV ownership at all.
