As we have discussed many times on this site, and I’m with Sir Humphrey on this, you really don’t need anything special beyond an electrical meter on common property supply, if that’s what you’re using, so the owners corp knows how much to charge you for “their” electricity. And, otherwise just a power point in your garage connected to your domestic supply.
Most of us park our cars overnight where they could be charging on cheaper electricity. The petrol pump has brainwashed us into thinking that the only way to refuel our vehicles is as and when we need to, rather than while we are asleep.
The government is going to roll out charging stations all over rural areas for longer journeys where a top-up is required.
A while ago one block I know sent out a questionnaire asking owners if they thought they might want to buy an electric vehicle in the next two, five or ten years. The information such a survey might garner would be very valuable in terms of your future planning – certainly better than basing anything on hopes and fears.
