We already have a solution for this - it's what happens with dropped
kerbs. If you want a dropped kerb outside your house you ask the
council for permission, pay the fee, their contractor comes and makes
it for you.


You could imagine the same principle for charge points - apply to the
council, council electrician comes and installs approved charge point
in the road, wired in to your electricity supply, council makes good
the pavement. You get a proper 32A (or whatever) fast charging point
outside your house.


But you don't have a reserved parking space outside your house.


But you do get a reserved space outside your house if you get a dropped
kerb installed. OK you aren't supposed to park on it, but it is
effectively reserved for your use (to come and go to your drive) - people
aren't allowed to park in it and so it reserves a little bit of your
street.


not so.
