This government hasn't met a single deadline yet, or the others before it. 2030 will get delayed like everything else.
As already said, we don't have the recharging network, and certainly won't have enough charge points by 2030. Billions of pounds will get handed out to 'favoured' companies (don't get me started on minister's feathering their own nests!) and we'll end up with a pig's breakfast of a network at the end that doesn't do the job. 😣
The only things that will work for many people are self-charging hybrids or hydrogen cells. There's a farmer in Aberdeenshire running hydrogen on his tractors and one of his cars. Just put water in the tank to run it and clean emissions. It costs a bit to fit it at the moment but that will definitely come down significantly.
I regularly drive from Scotland to Wales, about 480 miles in a day. There is no way I'm charging an electric car for hours, once or even twice, on that journey. It wouldn't be practical at all.

Except for nest feathering you refer to which must be far exceded. Well done chaps.
