to find a way of getting the charging cable to the car he usually
has to park on the other soide of the road the last two weekend he
had difficulty finding a space in the same road.
Not all places of work have parking spaces for everyone usually
just executives.


Pavement charging point.

were can buy a 2 mile extention lead ;-)


There are only 90,000 electric cars at the moment. You can't expect a
charging point outside every house.

but when they are 10 million?

There'll be lots of charging points. That's a pre-requisite for 10m
people to buy the cars. Obviously, people won't buy them unless they can
charge them.

Not very close to that are we.

4316 quite a way from 10 million. and that's in the whole country.
104,000 household in my boroguh alone.

Given that there are so few electric cars presently and so many people
charge at home, one public charge point per 20 cars sounds about right
to me.

Check again.
My borough 104,000 households
total charging points in the whole country 4316.

Yes, that's 20 EVs per charging point.

Please show how you worked that out .



I havent seen any private chargers locally unless they hang a lead out of their window when I'm not looking.

It's currently not a practical proposition to have an EV unless you have
off-road parking where you can have your own charging point.

Which is a problem when living in inner cities isn't it.
