“Dangerous” EV charging trial in Sydney SCRAPPED | MGUY Australia
Sydney’s inner West is an area well known for being home to Sydney’s latte set the cool hipster part of town with all the organic vegetable shops and cafes with $20 smashed Avo on toast given this demographic the inner West council is made up of a dire mixture of far-left Labor and greens
Counselors who spend their time supporting the current thing even if it has nothing to do with the residents of the inner West such virtue signaling included passing a resolution in November M of last year supporting a ceasefire in Gaza perhaps they do better to concentrate on collecting the bins and fixing the
Roads although the council grudgingly accepts that private cars must be at least tolerated through gritted teeth of course they’re at the very bottom of the council’s transport hierarchy they’re all in favor of the EV Revolution but sadly Utopia must wait because one of their EV charging plans has come

Proportion of Terrace houses with no off street parking in their desperation to appease the Tesla driving residents the council approved the ludicrous idea of officially allowing some residents to drape cables from their houses across the pavement sidewalk so they could charge their EVS The Joy from one inner West Tesla
Owner at receiving a permit cannot be contained today I received my footpath occupation license from the inner West Council allowing me to be possibly the first EV owner in the inner West to legally charge across the foot paath there was no fee involved but house contents insurance is important as this
Should provide $20 million thirdparty cover complete with a proud picture of the Tesla in question and and the permit but someone in the council probably a gardener or something must have accidentally rented a functioning brain for a day and worked out that allowing this probably isn’t a great idea wow who

Homes however a council spokesman told Yahoo news Australia that such a scheme is no longer being pursued due to safety concern turns council is not actively supporting the charging of electric vehicles at the curbside by running a power lead across the footpath they revealed gee you think this exposes one of the biggest
Problems with EV charging the fact that so many people have no access to off- street parking and hence ability to charge overnight some other councils are putting public charges on street light poles but already this is causing problems because drivers of regular cars can’t park next to them
Anymore I can foresee that this will be another source of that new curse of the EV driver’s daily life charge rage where tempers flare over access to those precious electrons from the charging point the whole thing would be funny if it weren’t so serious and that’s before
We even think about the problems of rows and rows of EVS charging up in parking lots beneath apartment blocks the safety implications of that are huge and we’ll be a subject for a future video if EVS have a use case at all which is questionable it would be as a city
