Drivers without a driveway no longer need planning permission to fit chargers that run a cable under the pavement to their car, the Department for Transport says. The change, starting today, could save households as much as £300 on installation and let them charge using cheaper home electricity. Ministers say electric car sales rose 36% in a year, with nearly 100,000 sold in September alone.
