Returning to step one, in my constituency and throughout the country, and particularly in housing estates that were built less than 20 years ago, homes would have no front gardens but would have parking bays at the front.
Many people feel excluded from getting on board with EVs. They have the money for the EVs but they cannot charge them. Is that being teased out - the bridging of what is essentially the width of a path - in terms of delivering that? Is the solution to have a communal place in these estates, or will we try to find a solution where charging can be done where the car is parked overnight?
