People around me have started running cabled from the house over the pavement, protected by those anti-trip mats, when charging. So far the council haven't taken any action against them. Not sure it's a long-term practical solution though, what with safety, vandalism and no guarantees that you can get a parking space outside your house. Perhaps mandated 50% charging places in every supermarket carpark?
