Putting in commercial charge points is not exactly a major problem - anyplace the grid goes. No reason why every non-mechanical parking meter couldn't offer a charge. And motorway services - a cinch.

Very many Finnish apartment block parking areas with assigned spaces already offer a plug in for pre-heating the car in winter.

That's Finland, where that sort of forward planning is built in and paid for decades in advance. The UK isn't quite like that...

You'd have to dig up every pavement in every town and city. The cost would be colossal. Not only that, but even if a standard charging point is agreed now, building codes will not be changed until 2050 to have them built. And then the local scallies will either vandalise them or run their games machines/dope farm heating and lighting from them
