Mr. Ken Spratt:

The legislation will be brought forward by the Department of energy rather than the Department of Transport. We are working quite closely with the Department of energy. In the context of private charging for people who do not have driveways and who have to run cables across a public footpath, we want to ensure that this is done in a nice way, if you like.

We do not foresee overhanging chargers. We foresee the wires would come from the home and go across the pathway, in a covered way, so that kerbside charging could happen. That is our sense of the optimal approach to it.
