Town Electric Vehicle Charging.

So just what does the law say about running a big charging lead across a pavement from your house to charge your electric vehicle in the road?

  • Yes Mike, a cable pole seems like a good idea. It could be like a hangman's gallows of old like we used to draw as children. A vertical pole with a cross bar at the top about 4 metres high. (More like an "L" shaped thing).The cross bar could be hinged and spring loaded to avoid damage if something accidentally hits it. The pole could be positioned  at the fence line in the front garden at the front of terraced houses and the cross bar could protrude outwards towards the road. That way the cable could fall vertically downwards above the E.V.s charging socket. I suppose users might need council approval as it would run over the pavement at high level. But it would remove the tripping hazard.
