Electric Vehicles EVs

Ouch

None of those prices seem outrageous to me, it's all increased infrastructure which will need people to maintain going forward, not to mention the liability the council needs to take on if they cause an accident by being poorly maintained.

I look forward to the increase in neighbourly parking spot wars they'll induce though.

Seems pretty reasonable. There's been a lot of generous subsidies on electric cars which are mainly benefitting the better off. Given how cash strapped councils are then something like this shouldn't really be heavily discounted.

Parking will be entertaining though as others have said. We probably manage to park outside our house 1 week in 4 at the moment.

Love to see it.

As others have said, you won't need to park and charge outside your house every night. Even then, running a longer cable along the gutter to reach a space or two along would be fine.

Anything that encourages people to switch to transport that emits fewer localised emissions is a good thing.

What if someone parks in your space?
