Some progressive local authorities (in London at least) have charging points in lampposts, next to on street parking bays.
Charging from street charging points is, however, way more expensive than charging off a home point.
How
" To fully charge an electric car at home it typically costs around £6.
To charge an EV to 80% at a public rapid charger (the level you normally would here) it usually costs between £7 and £10.
Naturally, this varies depending on the location, tariff, energy cost, battery capacity, charging speed and charge level. However, charging an EV far undercuts fuel costs for a petrol or diesel car."

Note: street charging is subject to VAT at 20% while home-charging is 5%

No its not more expensive its a rip off the electricty costs the same all around the uk its your supplier ripping you off

I agree that the supplier of street charging is ripping EV owners off. To charge from these points you also need to be subscribed to their app - for which there is an annual fee. Each supplier has a different app so if you want to use a range of chargers then you have to cough up each subscription. This is one of the many reasons I did not buy a fully electric car.

Mid winter pretty much.
And Mrs P_F saw a Bocian this morning
Reports of Bocian sightings all across the country.
At least a month early.
Not right.
(No sex for a month either ffs)
Oasis wrote a song about it
… and Philip K. Dick wrote a short story about it, which Ridley Scott turned into a film. 
Probably the wrong thread but very interesting
Tata Steel is planning to shift rapidly from two polluting blast furnaces – which can produce 5m tonnes of steel, but also nearly 2% of UK carbon emissions – to electric technology that can produce up to 3.2m tonnes of recycled steel a year.
2%???
The electric arc furnace uses huge amounts of electric power. That has to be generated and is only going to be an improvement if that is from non-fossil fuel sources
…cough… electric cars… cough…
Yeah, them too. The footprint of your EV battery is enormous

Either they’re looking over a much longer timescale than they let on, or an altogether different agenda is being pursued. Personally I think it possible that the push towards electric and away from oil has more to do with changing the dynamic of Middle Eastern petro-states wielding the influence they’ve had for so long. Battle lines are being drawn.
Hmmm 
Not at all - Was tongue in cheek responding to you
