Love is in the air. Or maybe it's just the electric charge from that EV
plugged in for the night.
Whatever it is, electric vehicles may help those on the prowl ... or at
least make you look like a more conscientious, forward-thinking human that
someone would potentially like to date. That's according to a newly released
Ford survey of 1,000 U.S. adults.
Ford found three in four people are more likely to date someone if they own
an EV. Almost 65 percent of respondents said they'd drive an EV to make a
good first impression ...
Mashable did our own very scientific poll and found that there might be
something to all this with nearly 65 percent of 255 random Twitter
respondents agreeing they'd be more into someone who has an electric
vehicle.
From the Twitter poll, some fair points were made about EVs and attraction.
One colleague noted, "I can see how a gas car can now be considered a
turn-off." EVs might not make you swoon, but a gas-guzzler might make you
second-guess a second date.
For others, they don't care what their romantic partner drives. Or they care
that even if it's an EV it's still a vehicle and not a bicycle or e-bike.
Others want to know what type of energy (like solar) powers the electric
battery before giving someone bonus points for driving electric.
Even so, this Valentine's Day, your best bet is to go electric. [©

[EVDL] Tuck that EVSE cord so .uk EV-drivers don't get sued

Council confirms electric car owners at fault should injury occur as a
result of charging cords

Electric charging points in Wandsworth

Wandsworth Council have confirmed that the owners of electric cars, rather
than the authority itself, will be deemed at fault should someone trip and
fall on the charging cables.
This comes after concerns were raised about the safety of having charging
points placed on the pavement, rather than in the streets.
Battersea MP Marsha de Cordova has a visual impairment.
She says she knows first hand how difficult it can be to navigate the
pavement "when it has poorly designed or ill conceived street furniture
obstacles."
"I fully support electric vehicles and believe they have a very important
role to play in the future of our transport," she said.
"As this type of vehicle becomes more popular local authorities will be in a
rush install charging points.
Local authorities must ensure the safety of all road users and provide
whatever training is necessary to make sure charging points and cables are
installed safely so as not to create hazards for blind and partially sighted
people.
"Pavements have to be hazard free to accommodate all of our residents."
The council has been installing these electric vehicle charging points in
hundreds of street lights across the borough in an effort to get people to
make the switch away from diesel and petrol to help reduce emissions and
improve air quality.
Wandsworth Times:
But a charity which looks to promote everyday walking says the local
authority should consider placing the charging points in the road or on
build-outs from the pavement.
"While electric vehicles have a role in helping clean up our air, this
should not be at the expense of a genuinely zero-emission mode of transport
- walking," chairwoman of Wandsworth Living Streets Susie Morrow said.
"They should only be placed on the pavement as a last resort, and such that
two people can comfortably walk side by side.
"If we are serious about tackling the climate emergency, we will need to
greatly reduce car journeys."
Another issue that was raised was who would be at fault legally should
someone trip, fall and injure themselves as a result of the charging cords.
A Wandsworth Council spokesman answered this by saying: “Of course owners of
EVs must take care when charging their vehicles to not create trip hazards
for pedestrians, but using lampposts next to parked vehicles is a much
better option than trailing cables across pavements from flats and houses.
"Ultimately though it is the legal responsibility of the vehicle owner to
make sure they are not creating a hazard for others.
"We are not aware however of anyone in Wandsworth having tripped over or
suffered any injury from an EV cable.”
