With millions of UK homes lacking driveways, residents must run cables across sidewalks, but over 20 councils, including major London boroughs and others across the country, still say no. Despite government moves to remove planning permission and simplify approvals, councils cite safety, parking, and accessibility concerns. The result? Drivers pay more at public chargers instead of enjoying cheaper home charging. While the tech is ready, inconsistent local decisions are slowing the EV revolution—and proving that sometimes the biggest obstacles aren’t the cars, but the bureaucracy holding them back.
