I’m hoping someone can help me with a bit of a heads up. I am thinking of switching to a Skoda Enyaq and was wondering what the process of having the charging cable fitted as i live in a housing association terraced house where i have lived for around 30 year. I have no drive but my car parking space is just around 20ft from my front door and the electricity box is just inside the front door, so i would walk down the path open my gate and there’s a 3ft path and there’s the boot of my car. Only the postman and delivery drivers use this path as it’s out of the way from any public but obviously the public could walk around this path should they wish. It’s not my private car space but I have always used this exact space for 30 years as all the neighbours all have their usual spaces. Should this be a stumbling block is it still worth considering an Electric Vehicle as obviously having read a lot on this forum site the cheapest way to charge is with a home charger or can you find a cheap alternative IE car parks, I only do around 100 miles a week and travel to see family around 3 times a year which would be a 700 mile round trip. Also would it be someone from Skoda to come and check all this or is it a private company? sorry there’s a lot of questions so thanks in advance for any information provided.
Im also in HA property and sorry to tell you but you need to forget it.
I had to ask for permission to install the charger on their property which they refused unless i had a dropped kerb and a drive.
I already had a drive but no dropped kerb, i had to pay £2377 to drop the kerb then after it was complete i had to send pictures accross to the office then reapply for permission to install the charger, after this they sent out an inspector to check the electrics and look which model charger im getting.
Then after the charger was installed they sent him back out to check they had installed it on a separate trip box and to get a copy of the p part and install certificates.
They will not allow you to run a cable across a footpath from their property
