Ah, completely empathise with your situation, my sister is often wheelchair-bound and I agree it's often no fun navigating busted up pavements!
However, cable gullies are literally a tiny flush slit in the pavement perpendicular to the street, and wouldn't impede many wheeled vehicles.
There are plenty of on-street charging points around the corner from our house, from 4x different companies no less, but they're all eye-wateringly expensive compared to home charging, and obviously not as convenient.

When they are new and maintained, sure. When they are a few years old, have got clogged up with dirt, the user doesn't bother to clean it out and the cable is now above the pavement level.
Those pictures also feature level paving which is far from the norm in much of the world.

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.
