    Reach critical mass.

    3 zillion electric cars choke city trying to reach free charging carpark, then expire as the ICE system drains the batteries during the traffic jam. Occupants fry in the sun as the aircon fails. Solar panel car occupants laugh, then cry as night falls and their heaters pack in during the wee small hours.

    then the predators appear from the roadside...the thin outer skin of the lightweight vehicles proves no obstacle to them.....

    etc, etc

    The license fee is for the receiving equipment. If it works, you pay. It don't matter if it's not tuned in, or if you only have S4C (Welsh language ), you pay.
