A Haringey resident says they were quoted £678 after subsidy for a charging channel through the pavement, plus a £120 annual licence fee — with the channel removed if they stop paying. Enfield charges £93 a year. Hertfordshire charges £200 just to assess an application. We work through what cross-pavement charging actually costs in 2026 and why the price changes at a borough boundary.Then used EV battery health. The AVILOO Certified EV Battery Report analysed over 500,000 tests across 20 models and found most batteries hold close to 90% at 93,000 miles — but two identical cars at identical mileage can differ by 13.5 percentage points, roughly 26 miles of range. The average is reassuring. The average is not the car you're buying.We also cover the ZEV mandate review — open to consumers, closing 23 October 2026, offering four routes to 2030 from 80% down to 50%. Plus SMMT's August UK registration figures, and Norway reaching a record 98.7% electric with just 30 petrol cars registered nationwide in a month.CHECK YOUR COUNCILOur cross-pavement checker tells you whether your council allows it, refuses it, or is trialling it.primetimeev.com──────────────────────────────⚡ JOIN THE PRIMETIME EV CLUB — FREECheapest charging rates · best lease deals · weekly EV digest.
