Could a charging cable be put in this channel?
A friend of mine doesn’t have a private driveway but is interested in getting an EV.
He has one of these ‘channels’ (pictured) outside his house.
Question 1: Any idea what the official purpose is for the channel? I’m thinking perhaps for drainage or an expansion joint? Might be wrong though.
Question 2: Has anyone got a similar set up at home? And have you used the channel to house the charging cable with any success?
I know strictly speaking this wouldn’t be permitted by the local council, but I’m also guessing that they’ve probably got more important things to be dealing with and probably wouldn’t have the time/resources to enforce against this, especially if the cable isn’t actually a trip hazard (due to it being inserted nicely into the channel).
