I hope they don't happen. Pushing my mum in a wheelchair is already hard work, don't need more things which might be fine when they go in but if they have the same maintenance as the rest of the pavement will soon by awful.
Barnet are installing Trojan Energy charge points in some streets which seems okay from a pedestrian perspective. https://trojan.energy/hub-locations/london-borough-of-barnet
Haven't seen one in use yet but they are quite new. -
Also interested to hear about this - very different context (Welsh valleys with no paved access to our garage, street parking only otherwise) but same issue.
Tangentially - sorry to hear the XC70 is going... dead or just uneconomical? Have been looking at one as a bridge between our current old banger and a practical/affordable EV in a few years

Cross-post from the eco-dork thread:
Does anyone have any insight into 'pavement cable gullies', specifically in relation to Waltham Forest?
We will likely (and sadly) have to ditch our ancient petrol Volvo XC70 soon, and are looking to replace with an EV and home charger, with the caveat of us having no driveway, and not fancying being sued for some kid tripping on a charger cable and smashing their teeth out.
Heard of some trials with councils allowing the installation of cable gullies across pavements outside people's houses. Would be great if this could be done at homeowner's request, or under permitted development.
