Norfolk residents are facing a unique challenge as the city's growing number of electric car owners are causing a surge in demand for public charging points. However, a dispute over who should pay for the high-voltage cables required to connect these charging stations to the power grid is sparking tension among local authorities, businesses, and homeowners. The issue has raised questions about who should bear the cost of the expensive cables, which can cost upwards of £10,000 per mile to install. As Norfolk aims to become a hub for electric vehicle adoption, finding a solution to this problem is crucial to supporting the city's growing EV community.
