Re: 50 miles???
"It comes in from a cable in the street. Adding a socket at pavement edge isn't a huge problem."
There is a company that has developed fittings to use power from common lampposts by changing out an access door. The lamp is upgraded to LED so there is enough savings to charge an EV parked on the street. The cable is locked into the outlet and the billing mechanism it tied to the box on the cable. You just plug in and the charge is put on your account/debited from a deposit account (something like that). The idea is to make tons of on street parking spaces EV charging points. Even if you only get 30 miles of range added each night, chances are that you aren't going that far if you are living in a city with only on street parking anyway. EVs are very good in city centers where you sit still as much as move. If you can't get a charger spot every night or drive a bit more, you can likely top up at a Level 2 charger during your weekly shop and you may also find that the local Shell or BP station have added a DCFC.
