EV adoption in the UK is huge right now, heat pump adoption is happening (though could be faster).

Air conditioning is a weird one, because it’s only been necessary in residential properties for a couple of years, and really still only necessary for a couple of days a year, so a fixed installation isn’t cost effective. Portable units are becoming more popular.

AC has been a requirement in most commercial premises for years. Decades, perhaps.

The great thing about heat pumps is you can run them in reverse to become an AC, only requirement is a drain for the condensate.

I have one of those and it really isn't the same as AC.

		I trust that you mean it doesn’t have the same effectiveness as other AC units you’ve used. From a pedantic point of view, it is quite literally the exact same as an AC. Air conditioners are literally heat pumps.
