Daniel Bleakley, co-founder of New Energy Transport, says when it comes to rolling out charging infrastructure and getting chargers connected to the grid “we should be on a war footing for this, right now.”

“This is exclusively a fossil fuel crisis – there’s no crisis in wind or solar production,” he says.

“If we don’t move, we are going to be shackled to this insanely volatile system until it collapses. Do we keep going, or do we pivot?”
