Allow pavement gullies in Hounslow for EV charging

Paul Walker

It is the obvious solution to on-street charging. Hounslow is finding unnecessary objections, 'not invented here'

Jonathan McQueen

Lampost charging is expensive, inconvenient, and unreliable.

Ian Alexander

It makes getting an EV and reducing pollution in the borough (not to mention stopping contributing to global warming) a lot more attractive. Time it was done everywhere.

Andy Magee

This is a very sensible way of increasing EV ownership. LBH should get behind it oor risk losing more seats to Green Party

Siddhartha siddharthas.dev

Enable greener driving in long run

John Flynn

It just makes sense ,otherwise the imbalance between charging points and cars will be too late

GLYNIS ROSS-WOOD

Ludicrous number of street chargers in Chiswick for the number of EVs we are told are here.

Supporter

Home charging is important, on street charging is too expensive to ever be mass adopted. More expensive than petrol. All cars sold will be PHEVs, but few if any cars where no home charging exists will ever be more than a hybrid with a heavy battery.

Roger Mullins

Ealing council also rejected government help with the cost of implementing the policy of providing a gulley in the pavement. This is very thoughtless of the council and both councils should reconsider their lack of action as damaging potential EV ownership.

Ben Rogers

We are unable to charge our car outside because the lamppost chargers have been faulty for months. And the council has denied us use of our drive as we live on a bend in the road. So charging from our house across the pavement is the only solution to do our bit for the environment and the net zero targets

Affordable EV charging is necessary to enable More people To afford an EV.

Martin Gill

No driveway and this is a practical safe low cost alternative

Hugh McNeill

I want to buy an EV but charging is expensive if I can’t charge from home.

Dan A

To save the environment we need to go electric for transport. But to charge cars at home without a driveway needs pavement gullys. Richmond are doing it - why isn't Ealing and Hounslow ??

Sarah Smith

Don’t want raised ramp on pavement making trip hazard & tricky for foot fall children/elderly/wheelchair users/ general public. Sunken gully feels that consideration to pavement users has been given !

Tony Golding

I’m thinking of going electric and access to easy inexpensive charging is a factor.

Gill Golding

Our next car will be an EV. We are putting off the decision due to a lack of charging facilities in the Bedford Park area. Pavement gullies are unobtrusive in a Conservation area

Sharmila Metcalf

Have an EV car with limited charging access in Hounslow

Fiona Grant

I won't buy an EV car until charging is readily available. There are so few post chargers and the chance of finding one not already being used is so slim.

Supporter

This two tier system of charging, one for those with off street parking and another far more expensive for others is unreasonable and inconvenient. Gullies are a sensible way forward and will be a positive move towards net zero.
