Replying to Sue and Phaedra, many councils allow a charging cable to be run over a pavement as long as a high visibility cable protector is used – check with your Country Council.
Motability will actually pay for the cable protector (they offered to pay for ours), but you need to ask them to use an installer who would be happy to install a charger that isn’t off-road: we found that Ohme would be happy to do this (Motability use a number of partners for installation, and only Ohme were willing to take this on, though they will probably want to do an assessment of where you would have the charger installed).
Ensure you have written permission from your County Council before approaching Motability and their installers, but it can be a route to greener and much cheaper motoring!
