- I can park outside my house quite often so could (potentially ) run a lead to the house, .

there is an increasing use of induction charging pads
just park over it and it charges the vehicle as needed
obviously most are just sitting on the garage floor

you're joking right? we don't have stormwater pipes in our street (600m from Jacindas' house) and you think they're going to install induction pads?

[phill]

nope
ya buys em yaself
same as da rest of da home chargin gear

Induction charging is *very* inefficient when compared to wired charging. And, if people are worried about the effects of non-ionising electromagnetic radiation from 5G towers then they'd shit themselves if they saw the intensity of the EMF produced by these inductive charging setups.

What about the significant portion of NZ who do not have a garage, let alone a garage with power to it?

A water-proof charger mounted on the outside wall of the house should suffice.

ok they would break down to 2 main groups
1 set that have to park on the road and probably live in the city
the other set that dont have a garage so park on the section or road as options
the ones that park on the section or someplace private next to the section can put one down .. even if they have to cover it to look like it isn't there
the others have leads or commercial charging
chances are if they have enough to buy an electric they have enough to build a cheap carport

This is perhaps what I'm talking about when I refer to a commuter EV

Of course if the French can do it, the Chinese can do it cheaper.
