If you have a driveway, why would you park on the street?

The mention about dropped kerbs is an example of when householders get some
rights over the street outside their house. I'm saying that, with
sufficient legal approvals, another instance could be where someone in a
house without a drive could feed a charger in the street from their own
electricity supply.

Optionally that space may be made available to others through a public
charging scheme. Then it isn't 'private' in any sense. Just like you can
get a disabled parking space outside your house in certain circumstances -
for use by any disabled people.

At one time, there were parking meters at every bay where anyone could
park. Not going to cost that much more to do the same with charging points?

The issue is there isn't sufficient wiring in the street (lampposts etc)
to power many charging points. My suggestion is to use the nice 100A feed
that's only a few metres away in the house.
