12. Our Place and Environment: Cross-Pavement Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging Trial pdf icon PDF 448 KB

The council has received requests from several residents who do not have off-street parking and use, or are planning to use, an electric car or van.  This paper sets out arrangements for a trial to permit them to install a cross-pavement gully channel. This is to enable the vehicle to be charged from the domestic electricity supply using a cable inserted into a channel just below the surface of the pavement and safely out of the way of pedestrians and wheelchair users.

The purpose of this paper is to seek council approval for the trial of EV gully charger installations, the outcome of which would inform a Council policy on such installations.

The installations would be at the cost of the householder.
