Yep but it will be funny to see what happens when the fossil car drivers, think the charging bays are regular car park spaces, of course there will be signage but most fossil car drivers won’t take a blind bit of notice about that.

Yep I am a company car fossil fuel driver, 3 pot 1.5lt Diesel 19 Plate Ford Focus as it happens, although the car is due for change April 2020.

So what I get next is anyone's guess as we don't get a choice.

Doing 30k business miles each year, and with over 100 cars in the fleet, going electric is going to save a shed load of money.

So it will interesting to see which way the firm goes.

Petrol and diesel cars already think the charging point bays are for normal cars. Last year, two weeks before Christmas in my local Tesco with 4 x free to use pod point spaces, 3 were occupied by conventional cars. I was plugging in my plug in hybrid when the driver of the car next to me asked what I was doing. I explained that I was plugging in my electric car and that he was parked in an electric car charging space. He was an oap and said that he thought the electric charging point was a parking meter! After he moved his car, I went into the shop and reported the other offending 2 cars to customer services, an announcement was made asking the drivers to move their cars. It is frustrating on arriving at a supermarket with charge points to discover they are all in use or filled with non plug in cars. And guess what, as the number of plug in cars increases, unless the number of charging points increases significantly, things can only get worse.

For the last 10 years VW have managed to build some terrible diesel or petrol engines, the current 1.5 tsi is a compete mess and they can't fix the problems,

With such a track record its a brave person who puts faith in their electric offering.
