Electric Vehicle Charging Trial
See news of a possible B&NES trial of Electric Vehicle (EV) on-street charging using cable channels in pavements, at:
This proposed trial is important, particularly for Bath, where there are thousands of street-fronted properties with no access to other ways of charging EV cars.
Yes this needs to happen, we have had an electric vehicle for 5 years, several years ago cities like Poole in Dorset had on street charging, and many others. But Bath…..No. these need to be fast chargers of course, not the slow chargers, currently in P&R’s) I explained this to the the then ‘Transport Cabinet Member, in the previous Tory Administration, who clearly had little grasp of the subject. Hence Bath is behind many other areas. ,
