In London I had a neighbor with an electric car. It was parked on the street and plugged in using a long cord to its owner's building. Seemed to work ok, though it wasn't pretty. Plenty of street crime and vandals around, somehow they didn't seem to bother.

I'm assuming that the council will install charging stands at some point - if these had dedicated parking (and no residents parking charge!) then that would encourage people to use them. Some properties in the street have coal holes in the road - that might an interesting place to install charging paraphernalia.
