The development application process regulates the minimum number of car spaces to be provided for resident and visitors. Streets around unit developments are invariably clogged as the the spaces provided are always to the minimum standard with is unrealistic. Some developers want reductions in these standards on the pretence of being environmentally friendly.
Taking visitor parking for EV charging may result in a reduction in spaces available below the minimum required.
Perhaps a resident using a visitor /charging station could make their parking space available to visitors who may have an entitlement to the space. A note on the car being charged with the location of an alternate space and the time of use wouldn’t be too hard!!!
Overnight charging in a visitor space will become a bonus parking space and impossible to police.
Charging in the residents own space is the only fair way with the cost borne by the user of the space.
