I've seen people charging bolts and plug in hybrids on my street with the wire run across the sidewalk (ie. from their home to the car parked on the street out front). Its a low-traffic residential area (East Bay) and I think this should be legal as it allows many people who have homes but no driveways to own and charge EVs. Maybe there should be a special rubber wire cover to protect the cord and so people don't trip. I hope someone doesn't trip and fall, sue the owner and ruin it for everyone.

- s0rce 9y agoYes, I'm aware of those, not sure if there is legislation to cover their use across residential sidewalks.
- lostboys67 9y agoHmm diy wiring just exposed to the elements and draped across the pavements that's just asking for some one to get an accidental electric shock

- lostboys67 9y agoAs a quick google finds that •Electrical hazards cause more than 300 deaths and 4,000 injuries each year among the U.S. workforce. •In the United States, 50,900 fires each year are attributed to electrical failure or malfunction, resulting in 490 deaths and 1,440 injuries Widespread introduction of electric car charging points will obviously increase those numbers
