Were the bays close to the entrance? I.e. was she faking it!

Not like charging it will break the bank , probs a tenner to top up. Combined with the ice , probably more economical to use both.

It was, but machine was laminated indicating charging and it was only 5-10m closer to costas than if she parked in a normal bay

Did a large journey yesterday, 230 miles round trip. I was thinking I would stop in and do a quick squirt to see us home but the car just kept finding more range.
We set off with the predictor saying 220miles .. ( bit pessimistic was my opinion!) we got to the destination and it said 54% battery and 135miles left ..
When I got home it was 30miles range left and 8% battery..
This was a mainly motorway driving with a short 10 mile either end of B-roads.
On another note a friend showed me his new Cadillac EV .. very impressed, not your usual American build material rubbish. Lots of features nicely appointed. BIG ! Ride is soft but who cares, very rarely can you unwind a sports car, might as well cruise.

I had an away day on Tuesday used one route going and another coming home
The route going was about 50% dual carriageway the route home was mainly country A roads with lots of bends and braking.
I did not check the actual figures but reckoned the route home used about two thirds of the battery compared to out.

Where does the plug go when it's not charging? Or is the whole plug unit, cable, removed completely each time?

It can be unlocked, removed and kept in the boot.

No idea, but it is a solution for some who don't have off street parking.

Hopefully people can actually park outside their own house or could lead to arguments

Guess the cost and how pays will see if it’s viable
Wouldn’t work for me considering where our parking spots are

By the look of that image it’s just a channel cut across the pavement running from a “normal” charger mounted inside his gatepost.
I would then assume that the user would be liable for the cost of the work (just like paying for a dropped kerb) and the cost of permission.
The white strip is presumably removable/replaceable to get the cable in and out.
Prob looking at £800-£1000 depending on council and contractor used.

Yes the big problem comes when the utility companies want to dig the pavement up.

In some roads you would have to be lucky to be able to park in ‘your spot’. Without assigned parking any personal solution is hoping for the best.
Road parallel to here it would be impossible. The road it is leading to, we know a guy who charged his Tesla via one of these roll over cable protection things occasionally but he always gets ‘his’ spot there.
Did these hang over beam things ever been used in practice? Would be cheaper to do and takes away any pavement work.

There's a guy near me who gives guitar lessons. Why don't you give him a call and tell him you don't want one.

Depends on the rigour of the permission process. When we wanted to extend the drop kerb the permission process asked if there were gas, water or telecoms access points within 2m of the site.Yes the big problem comes when the utility companies want to dig the pavement up.
Councils usually have visibility of electricity cable routes and if one ran right across where you want to dig then it’s likely your permission would be denied.
