Chargers operated by private charge networks are inconvenient and expensive. We have a cheap, safe and pragmatic solution in gullies. The government support them with policy and grants, residents want them, our neighbouring councils have them, but the Hounslow still drags it's feet. Get it sorted.

Charging gullies are inevitable. Hounslow can lead the way by introducing. Very little maintenance risk and massive benefits for expanding EV ownership

Charging gullies would mean we would consider an EV car for our next car purchase.

Sooner or later it is inevitable that home charging via gullies will be allowed as EV ownership grows. Hounslow have the chance to lead and be progressive in supporting EV ownership and ensuring it is affordable for all

The public charging policy being pursued by Hounslow is unreliable and very expensive for the electric car owners.

This is an excellent idea for driving and delivering lower emissions in London

If we want people to embrace electric cars this needs to happen. Otherwise there is little incentive as public charging is more expensive than petrol.

This allows for cheaper home charging as well as not being hazardous for the public

Street chargers are way too expensive and cost the same as petrol if not more. It’s not right.

This is so important to drive EV adoption and keeping costs down . It’s ridiculous how much the on street charging posts cost , if gullies have been implemented and successful in other boroughs why not in Hounslow

I struggle with charging my car every day. Instead of it being a benefit it has become a source of stress. Lamp post chargers near my home are broken with no way for me to get them fixed. I now have to go to one of the rapid chargers and waste 1-2 hours every week. As a part of a little one this time is something I simply don't have.

It's incredible that Richmond next door allow it and the Hounslow council still living in dark ages or brought up to be sell outs by their parents.

Too often the lamppost chargers are not working or occupied.

As an EV owner, access to home charging is economically required to drive EV adoption amongst residents. In absence of structural solutions like this, people resort to dragging cables across pavements which is unsafe if not done with appropriate protection
