Device that projects across a footpath ‘high risk to public liability’

owners without driveways have largely been reliant on public charging points. However, a Dutch-designed product that projects a charging cable across a footpath at a height of approximately 2.3m from a post installed on the homeowner’s property, has recently started appearing across Dublin.

Asked if the units required planning permission, Mr Daly said the onus would be on homeowners to establish that with their local authority, but he couldn’t see why there would be a problem. “They are no bigger than many garden ornaments, or a tree someone might install in their garden.” “I’ve had this about six months, and before that I was using a cable across the footpath with a rubber strip, but I always felt uneasy about it, but I can’t see why the council would object to this,” one user in Clontarf said. “It’s on private property, it’s very discrete – and in the summer months it’s almost entirely covered by foliage,” he said. “It’s not an eyesore, it’s not a public hazard and it’s far safer than what I had been doing.

“We charge at night, and the domestic night rate is about 15-16 cent as opposed to 60-70 cent for public charging. We don’t charge very often, for €12 we’d get about 400km, and two charges would be about the same as a full tank of diesel.”
