Apart from health, safety and public liability, the local council won't be pleased. That bound to break a pile of planning regulations. |

You could write a list of things that could go wrong with that installation. But I could see what the person who did it was trying to acheive. It does beg the question? As the role out of EV's come and they will - are we going to see residential areas dug up and charging posts installed and plug in charging rented out to house owners? |

Hope he gets made to remove it all and made good again.
10 million pounds liability insurance to work in the roadway isn't it? From memory regarding dropped kerbs for a driveway.

"Hope he gets made to remove it all" I don't - he was probably very pleased with his solution to his charging problem. I hope the act of solving one problem does not cause him another larger problem. This photo off the internet jsut highlighted - the lack of infrastruture for full EV cars. The person responsible for the electric charging cable to the vehicle will be told it has to be removed. Why I here you ask. Under the Highways Act 1980 Part IX Lawful and Unlawful Interference with Highways and Streets it is illegal for any person to place or run a cable or wire along or across a public highway. Having the cable trail from your home across the pavement to your car will cause a safety hazard. There is no instance in which you can trail your cable across the pavement including the use of pavement drainage channels. A cable across the ground can limit accessibility of the footway and can impact negatively on people with disabilities. Yes I agree the infrastructure for these EV'S isn't anywhere near where it should be and it would help if the legislation was consistent across the country. |

This is where we play a game called "Does the homeowner have an RCD"...
I'd be out there with a pair of insulated wire cutters making that "safe", or at least tripping the RCD/Circit breaker...

Or indeed, does the homeowner have a new consumer unit with proper earth-leakage detection and a proper earthing-spike? |

My theory is that when the oil companies finally fold and the government controlled national grid is up to it's full nuclear strength all the infrastructure will eventually be buried in the roads/motorways and vehicles will be capable of charging wirelessly as they drive along autonomously except for short periods when they become airborne to avoid traffic etc.
Hopefully I will be dead and non of it will be my problem

No to mention if there's no load balancer fitted and the house has a heat pump, electric cooker etc on the go |
