If you're going to build underground car parks for all city cars that
haven't their own off road parking, wouldn't it make much more sense to
spend the money on extending the tube network and making it cheap/free?
An electric car is only suitable for city use and will do nothing for
congestion.

Or charge them up in supermarket car parks etc etc.

I only go to the supermarket on a day when I can be in and out in an hour.

You CAN fully charge a lithium car in about an hour, but you need
specailsed charging facilities to do it safely.

Apart from the fortune needed to buy and replace such a battery for car
use.
