That's a bit radical! Next thing we know well be advocating it be left to market forces and not micromanaged by nitwits that couldn't run a market stallAllanG wrote: ↑Tue Feb 06, 2024 7:11 am With all these perks business owners of EV’s are getting, it’s no wonder private buyers are shunning these vehicles!!
IMHO, if the government is serious about getting us all into EV’s, then it should immediately make it a level playing field for all buyers, so we can all play by the same rules!

Is provision of workplace chargers a state regulation Jon? I thought it was a reaction to state distortion of the market

Good point Neil
I think there is no such thing as a “level playing field” in life and we should all accept the little wins when they come along…

Workplace EV charging, now there is a huge issue.
Who installs?
Who pays for the electricity used?
Full Company ownership of the building and car park should be straightforward, EV installs for the CEO and Directors at their reserved parking spaces and a couple of “Token” others for the plebs.
Large multi occupancy buildings, Landlord pays, tenants rent goes up, now usually in car parks and common areas the Landlord pays the utility bills and recharges the tenants on a pro-rata basis.
Then there needs to be a Churn system in place with a max 4 hour parking which will need Policing. This is the case at a Hospital I go to and walk past the two EV charge bays where the sign limits stay to 4hours, the bays are right next to the Site Security office and opposite the Site Facilities Office.

Not seeing it quite as a “nightmare”
We have six chargers at work and more EV’s than that and zero problems so far in fairness.
I don’t drive an EV but neither will I find any ridiculous excuse to put them down either.

Indeed not, you're sounding like an EV evangelist these days, the 911 must be getting worried

Hardly Neil, but I am a fan of balance in any debate. Reading the absolute drivel that some folks spout on here is laughable - seemingly trying to find any way they can to knock an EV instead of just exercising a simple choice to not buy one of it doesn’t suit, in the same way I do too as it doesn’t suit me.Neil1911 wrote: ↑Tue Feb 06, 2024 4:22 pmIndeed not, you're sounding like an EV evangelist these days, the 911 must be getting worried
Of course all this bashing is coming from folks who have never owned one…
