Title: Not sure if this is an unwanted Chritmas present (being a bit of a grinch) Post by: CyclingSid on December 27, 2024, 12:29:57 I suppose you have to start the conversation somewhere
https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/cross-pavement-solutions-for-charging-electric-vehicles/cross-pavement-solutions-for-charging-electric-vehicles (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/cross-pavement-solutions-for-charging-electric-vehicles/cross-pavement-solutions-for-charging-electric-vehicles) Being released on Christmas Eve I do wonder if it was something they were trying to slip under the radar. First thought; will this be more stuff the less able bump into, trip over or can't get the wheelchair round. Before we get to double buggies. Second thought; should it be mandatory to ban on pavement parking before any of this is implemented? At least DfT have noticed the one big problem The availability of parking adjacent to the applicant’s property. For example, my street only has parking one side. Can see Quote The installation of a cross-pavement solution does not give the resident ownership or priority to the parking space outside their home, and this should be made clear to the resident. being the cause internecine strife.Haven't read it all in detail. Not directly relevant to my geriatric-powered bike Title: Re: Not sure if this is an unwanted Chritmas present (being a bit of a grinch) Post by: Electric train on December 27, 2024, 14:50:47 I suppose you have to start the conversation somewhere https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/cross-pavement-solutions-for-charging-electric-vehicles/cross-pavement-solutions-for-charging-electric-vehicles (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/cross-pavement-solutions-for-charging-electric-vehicles/cross-pavement-solutions-for-charging-electric-vehicles) Being released on Christmas Eve I do wonder if it was something they were trying to slip under the radar.

Not directly relevant to my geriatric-powered bike There are a few electric shock risks that have to be considered between the car being charged and earthed street furniture (street lamps etc). BS7671 (The IET Wiring Regs) has a whole chapter dedicated to EV charging points, the IET wiring committee have raised concerns regarding the electric shock risk. Insurance companies have concerns regarding a trip hazard with were the liability rests and the have the same concerns as the IET. I am sure a solution will be found to the above and any other problems raised This page is printed from the "Coffee Shop" forum at http://gwr.passenger.chat which is provided by a customer of Great Western Railway.
