    As above, I don’t have off road parking or a drive, I do have an area outside my house where I park, there’s a footpath between my car and my front garden.  My local council (Durham) like quite a few others in the UK have piloted a scheme using KerboCharge.  If you rent your property you’ll also need permission from your landlord/housing association etc. to have a charger installed,

    Baiscally you’re not allowed to run a cable over a public footpath so they cut out a channel and fit a cable gully with a folding “lid”, you lift it to drop in the cable to the car and it shuts covering the cable and prevents anyone tripping over it.  My council charged me £300 to fit this, after I had it fitted Ohme agreed I was able to have a charger fitted (being done this Tuesday).

    Here’s a photo showing the fitted gully running from my property through the footpath and to where my car parks.

    KerboCharge are now members on this forum, if you post a message starting with @kerbocharge they will be notified of it.  Here’s a link to their website, https://www.kerbocharge.com/

    Please excuse spelling/typos. Apart from being a clot it turns out I had one on my cerebellum that's now causing various problems!
