I've been doing this ( charging point spotting )for a little while now, ever since a couple of new builds had them fitted. The front of the houses have a smallish garden, then a parking area with block paviers and a central freestanding wooden post with the charging point fitted. I've seen a couple of vehicles parked at the kerb with a charging cable under a rubber anti trip strip.
Are we being forced to go electric?

I was talking about home. As I've said I've only ever used public chargers about 6 times.Public or at home ? If public there is grand total of 3
Went to visit an elderly relative in deepest Wales last weekend. Just charged up on her drive overnight. No drama.
Do they leave their front doors open for you ?Virtually every house in our village has an available charge point.

This is an interesting read - the second half particularly, as I feel the reports on 'investment' under privatisation don't give the bigger picture.

This too - I thought London School of Economics before I looked but it turned out to be US Mid-west focused.

The idea of city maturity to me would imply the old school garden city model with work within walking distance.
We need to make public transport better and cheaper than driving, and/or driving worse and more expensive. Electric cars achieve the expense but not the other benefits. The one-off environmental costs of manufacture are heavier than cleaning up older cars.

Why would you need to charge in your home village away from the house ?
Maybe because you don’t have a drive or on street parking
?!

It is, but less than buying a new 4x4 which could also be described as unaffordable for many. Used car prices in general are holding firm, caused by the shortages of chips for the many ECUs in modern cars.
As cyclists, ar we not used to dressing for the weather conditions?

And it's worth saying that most of the time you don't need to use a public charger. Most of the time you are charging at home.
Spot on. 99% of our charging is from home.
