Hounslow Council do not fix or maintain broken chargers for months or years at a time. This makes having an electric car a pain, trying to find a charger.

I can grt n assurance from the counclil that we will have a street light charging point within 30 seconds walk of out front door - so this seems to be an obvious solution. Not perfect, but better than what we have

Unable to charge my car outside my property, lamppost charger pricing in the area is overinflated and excessive in comparison to being able to use my own electricity.

This would enable EV ownership to borough residents for whom it is currently not a practical choice. This would lead to improvement in air quality in our area without the further destruction of front gardens. It should form part of Hounslow’s Climate Emergency Action Plan

If other councils allow it, and it benefits the environment, why wouldn’t Hounslow do the same?

Such an obvious solution for terraced houses. Richmond Council allow it, why now Hounslow.

More and more cars on our street are electric so we get a lot of contention for use of the lampposts. Plus, the cost of the electricity at the lamppost ranges from 49p - 85p per KWh. Using domestic electricity would cost less that 10p with a cheap overnight rate. This would be both greener and cheaper.

This will make charging an EV much more affordable and convenient thus encouraging more folk to try these cars. Cleaner air and quiet on the roads.

A smart idea & will make ownership of an EV a viable option. With no ‘dropped kerbs’ being approved to enable off-street parking , this makes a lot of sense and removes a barrier to purchase an EV.

Have an EV and charging on the council street posts is prohibitively expensive

The lamppost chargers are generally useless.

Very important to allow easier charging if we are to move to electric cars.

Not being able to charge from my home (no off street parking) is holding me back from going electric. I note other boroughs do this.

Frustration over unreliable lamp post chargers on street. Would very much prefer to use home charger.

Because it’s impossible to charge our car

I’ve just switched to a plugin hybrid. I wanted to test feasibility of an EV when I don’t have access to home charging. Bottom line is it is more expensive to run using a lamppost charger than using petrol plus we only have 4 chargers on the street and they are frequently in use or not working. I contacted the borough and got sent a pro forma email with their arguments which all run counter to the central government guidance.
