Have you contacted your local councillors requesting improved charging provision?

Maybe give on.to a go (ping me for a referral code if you do!)
I’ve the same concerns - no driveway, not entirely clear on the charging infrastructure, but with this approach I can hand the car back in a month if it doesn’t work out (and insurance and some charging is included, and Camden are only charging 20 quid for residents parking)

limited charging points in SE4
Yeah it's a bit thin on the ground round there isn't it?
I have bought an EV specific extension cable that has high rated cable and a nifty cable break separator thing that allows it to be passed through a letter box. In combination with a rubber cable protector strip ramop thing, it allows for cross pavement charging.
I've only done it once, as a test. Worked fine.
The extension cable is for when I am away from home in a remote place, like an Air BnB holiday in Scotland for eg.
The issues with cross pavement charging are a) it's bloody slow. Will take 26 hrs to fully charge my 64kwh eNiro and b) the council don't like it and c) you may be at risk if being sued if anyone hurts themselves due to your cable.
If you have a conveniently located tree outside your property then I have seen people use one as a way if hanging the cable over the pavement. An ex neighbour did this and it looked like a very neat solution.

I’d love an EV but no driveway and limited charging points in SE4 is pushing me towards a plug in hybrid.
Anyone with any knowledge on how quickly we can expect infrastructure to improve?
Anyone have any bad tales from ghetto charging across a path etc.
