One of the problems that kerbside lampost chargers brings up is that many councils have actively been moving their lampposts from the kerbside to the back of the pavement for “safety”, so now these councils are being asked to move the lampposts back to the kerbside again.
There are many problems & solutions & we really need to get on with the infrastructure, my town of course still has zero chargers that are not behind a paywall (we have two Tesla destination chargers for customers of a restaurant that is current closed due to Tier 4, the chargers are inaccessible & turned off).
Looking on the bright side though, Shell have installed a 50kW rapid at a smelly fossil fuel station a few miles away so you can charge your car whilst wading around in spilt diesel at a very reasonable 39p/kWh.
So, just how far from London is this tiny town with no charging facilities, just how far do you have to drive before charging a car becomes impossible without a driveway? well, town centre to London city centre is just 21 miles as the coughing bird flies. It’s a good job that London ambulances aren’t EVs as they ferry semi-stiffs out to die in our rural hospitals this week.
