I walked out of a personal door and tripped on an EV cable of a car being charged, I regained balance without falling over, but had I been injured who would be responsible?
The cable clearly belongs to car, and has been put there by one assumes the driver, there is public access and road maintained by council, the Podpoint charge point is maintained by Podpoint and they collect the money, but the building I walked out of is railway premises and they provide the power to the Podpoint.
There is no street lighting although the railway does have some lights on 24/7, and the charge points are next to the disabled parking so it is reasonable to expect it to be used by the infirm.
It seems many EV charge point leave extra room, seems like they think EV users need it, but this in turn means on a car park it encourages people to walk past the electric cars and vans.
They tend to be placed at shop entrances
so are where many people walk.
