>good luck trying to get them to install charging points. Make it mandatory. Done. Either they do it or they shut the parking garage. Both are wins.

  The initial developer is probably bankrupt. The management company attempts to pass the charge to the flat owners (through a protracted series of letters), most of whom now live in the countryside because the rent from the London flat pays the mortgage on their 5 bedroom home in the countryside. They spend 2 years dragging out the process; arguing, challenging. None of the renters get to charge their car until about 2037. Yay London :-/

    Is there no way to have a special charge to flat owners in the UK? If it's like the US, it'd be through a HOA for the building. If someone wanted to fight it they'd have to go to court. I could imagine a scheme where a bank lends the HOA the money but then deals with the court since dealing with that is much less of a pain for them than the random building HOA president.

    That would be a reason to require electric outlets at each parking space a bit earlier than 2030. And of course, not every car is electric in 2030, hopefully only every new car.
