It hasn`t happened yet
Infrastructure couldn`t cope with all the electric cars that are supposedly going to be on the roads in next few years
Friend of our has tried all sorts to get a charging point with a cable that can cross a council footpath, even offered to cover the cost.
Council keep saying no
With this attitude an awful lot of people are not going to be able to charge at home
