  • Asked the council about on street chargers in the future and no reply.

    Councils have no money for statutory obligations. On street charging expansion is a fairly low priority. Wide roll out needs a commercial outfit to install it and make it really easy for the councils.

    It also needs to be installed in the roadway, not the footpath, but that's a different problem.

  • I asked around installing something privately that runs across the pavement. No interest in entertaining it. I could still go the EV route, install a wall charger on the front of the house, run a cable over the pavement and put down something to guard / hide the cable but the fear is some old codger trips over it in the dark when out walking there dog.

    Hadn't factored this in when buying the house.

  • Allegedly use of a pavement drainage channel is currently illegal. Seems like something the DfT could change. Example in the photo. Once legal councils could use their regular dropped curb contractors to install them at requestor expense. As long as they aren't too near Dibble's tree.
