If you know someone with a Taycan, let them know the location so they can go and connect when the owner goes to work 👍🏻

Saw this in Bath yesterday. Owner clearly has worked some sort of fudge via a standard infrastructure cover. Have they employed a redundant portal? And ignoring the status of cable cover how exactly is this possible, practical and legal.

And if legal, what a great solution!
I have often seen this rubber cover on the pavement in Great Pultney St. Bath, but with no Taycan attached to it! Mystery solved!!
Pleased to be of service.

I’ve just had a look at a report from Haringay council. It says under the Highways Act 1980 section 1X, it is unlawful for any person to run a wire or cable across a public highway.
And goes on to say that the type of cover would not be allowed as it is a hazard.

Advice - perhaps unsurprisingly in our wonderfully coordinated world - varies from Council to Council. See link from Hampshire, who appear not to have a problem with it, albeit refer the homeowner to their household insurance provider. Brighton, on the other hand, advise against it.

Given Brighton is run by the greens I would expect them to be all for anything to do with EV. That said, however, having worked in Brighton for a couple of years I suspect they are concerned it would make the ground uncomfortable for all the rough sleepers.
