Well it didn’t take Einstein to work it out - there’s been miles of discussion on it for years

So, why now do you post something as if it’s amazing news?

What’would’ be well worth discussing is the disparity between different nations and how they might effect the changes

eg. the UK may have a totally different system to Australia - because road fuel in the UK is almost double (apx) the price of fuel in Oz - meaning that the UK will have a far larger amount to make up than Oz when most go electric

How does one separate road power from house power?
The obvious might not work so easily

in the UK there’s road diesel, red diesel for non road use and heating oil - all of which can run engines

there’s road checks to see that people only use road diesel in cars - checking the chemistry

However - electric power is electric power - once it’s in a battery - there’s no way to check how it got there

with the huge road tax - there’s going to be a lot of backyard enterprises going on at a guess

You and I may know this but Acorn and others refuse to consider it.
