Allow pavement gullies in Hounslow for EV charging

Robin Carlyle

The positives associated with being able to take this practical solution hugely outweigh any negatives, providing cost is kept reasonable- maybe there should also be a grant available

Much more eco friendly than converting front garden to a parking area

Lamppost charging points are too few and regularly out of action. Flexibility to charge from home is important to support uptake of more environmentally sustainable vehicles.

We are a one car household who would like to move from petrol to EV. We have no access to off-street parking and the road chat is not encouraging about the chances of finding a working street lamp charger. Even when it is working, the reported pre-payments seem extortionate. Let’s make Hounslow a leader on EV forward options for air and noise pollution reduction, as well as more convenient and economical travel.

Only 3 lamppost chargers on our street Always have cars charging on it (from other streets) Often fail and dont work Cost is astronomical compared to socket charging. We dont have a driveway Essentially hounslows infrastructure for electric cars is so poor and does not therefore align with support for renewable energy!!

Jackie Knight

It is a challenge to find a working lamp

Lionel Knight

This ability would be a huge step for our household, in the Glebe Estate and the environment.

Pavement gullies for EV charging are safe and will make it possible to affordably charge EVs from home, assisting Hounslow to move to net zero

Doug Dalgleish

A ev is only viable if I can change overnight outside my house. Hounslow already charge an high rate for me to park in my own road, why not include reserved space outside my own house with a slot in the pavement to put the wire.

Greg NUTKINS

It is clear that the council have made a decision on the roll out of lamp post charging and will not countenance any other solutions. This means that at least 38000 cars (in Hounslow) will not go electric due to the abhorrent charging costs. This is completely at odds with the government’s policy of net zero, completely at odds with the direction of vehicle technology and I suspect, a massive misuse of public money. They state they will ‘keep abreast of new technologies’ – they don’t.

Ben Dimmock

So important, especially to encourage others to go electric and the in-lamppost chargers are not adequately maintained.

Ian Dimmock

This provides a simple, safe and economic way of encouraging further EV use and allowing current EV users to charge more cost effectively. The local in lamp post chargers are invariably out of order and so are actually a waste of parking space.

Want to have electric car in the future

Andrew Clark

Obvious and hugely beneficial to all households with no off street parking, also reduces the need for dedicated charging bays

Tony Stark

No driveway where I live so gullies for EVs is an obvious and overdue solution to encourage drivers in streets like mine to move away from petrol/diesel vehicles and adopt cleaner electric ones.

Naffis Anjarwalla

promote move to EV vehicles

Simon Meyers

A good idea.it's working in other placess.

Dorota Chrisp

Owner of ev with no off street parking, ability to charge from home would be more convenient , economical and reliable

Andrew Williams

The reality is Hounslow have not had a serious ev strategy for years - they have fallen way behind other councils and need to make this happen as priority

Yevette McGovern

With the proposed implementation of an EV and PHEV duty, the current council stance imposes a very cruel double blow to owners of these vehicles.
