That's entirely missing the point - your suggestion would only be applicable to properties with off road parking, and it's feasible for anybody with this option to get a charger installed, and also get a subsidy to cover part of the cost. The issue here (and has been discussed at length in this forum) is people/properties WITHOUT offroad parking capability - you can't provide a charger on a new build if there's on offroad parking!I've no idea why they don't mandate a charger on each newbuild.
That should be resolvable assuming no weird designs or odd ultility runs.... stick a high post on his driveway side and an overhead armoured cable, attach the charger to the post. I have 50A overhead supply to my barn where the car is kept. Use an ordinary electrician/builder to fit the first part.One of my friends bought a new build and was excited to get a charger for his ID3. Although his house has dedicated parking, there is a shared footpath between his parking space and his house. Apparently installers don’t want to know about this “non-standard” installation…

First rule of remaining sane in the 21st century Internet: never, NEVER read the comment boxes in news publications. EVER.I started reading through some of the comments at the bottom of that BBC article. Crikey, some people!
So, if this is about new builds I'm not sure I see your point. If a developer is building flats, why can't they put an option to charge in all the parking bays they are providing for the residents of those flats. If build a new estate without offstreet parking why not mandate they provide a kerbside charging option on the roads they are building. Developers have to provide a provision for their customers to park, so they can provide a charging option.That's entirely missing the point - your suggestion would only be applicable to properties with off road parking, and it's feasible for anybody with this option to get a charger installed, and also get a subsidy to cover part of the cost.

But, but but there is a whole thread where people are suggesting the Nitrogen is a better option than electricity. Yes, Nitrogen. Great news as I've spotted an easy way to sell them 70% pure nitrogen in my recycled plastic bottles.First rule of remaining sane in the 21st century Internet: never, NEVER read the comment boxes in news publications.

To me that's a bit like saying, if a town has no petrol stations you shouldn't actually build any for the local residents, they should just have to drive over to the next town to fill up. They have the same opportunities to move to somewhere that does have petrol stations if they don't like it.The people with no offroad parking have the ability to park off road and charge if they live somewhere else. They have the same opportunities as everyone else to do that.
Over the course of the EVs life, that cost will be more than offset.I’d argue that charging at home really isn’t as cheap as claimed. It’s not simply the kWh. Someone has to pay for the wall connector, the wiring, and any maintenance.
