Licensing
Using an EV charging cable does not require a licence, as long as the cable does not cross the carriageway. However, as local authority policies are reviewed and updated, this may change in the future. You must avoid the cable crossing the carriageway by parking on the same side of the road as your property, with the charging point as near the kerb as possible.
Where the use of a cable on the footway is not deemed suitable, then the County Council has existing powers under Section 162 of the Highways Act to seek to have the cable removed.
An NRSWA Section 50 licence would be required for temporary placement of apparatus, including cabling, on or over the carriageway.
