The growth of electric vehicles (EV’s), for both cars and vans, is continuing unabated. In 2023 to the end of June 152,968 battery electric cars and 8,803 battery electric vans were registered. Increasing numbers of drivers, both private and corporate fleets, are making the switch in preparation for the ban on the sale of petrol and diesel cars in 2030.
The increasing demand has created a number of additional considerations which includes the lack of EV charging infrastructure. In June 2022, it became mandatory in England for all new private and commercial buildings to have EV charging points installed, with the other devolved nations expected to follow suit. Yet for existing properties it is estimated that a third of households in England do not have access to off-street parking, whilst four out of five still charge at home. This has resulted in householders creating a number of non-conventional ways to charge their vehicle, with many solutions involving an electric cable being placed across a footpath, or hanging a cable out of a window.
