This looks to me as if the DfT wants to fudge the issue, probably write just about the same documents again in terms of road miles to be built, but couch it all in terms of 'greater demand through electric vehicles', which shows the hugely negative impact electric vehicles can and will have if used to greenwash the same old, same old.

Adoption of electric vehicles is not a solution to climate problems. Only less, as in 'far less', vehicle use will do.
