A Toronto man hoping to make the switch to an electric vehicle was left frustrated after consulting and working with the city for more than a year and a half, only to have his request to build a parking pad to support a charging station denied.

Per the article, it’s because he has a shared driveway. If he has to park on the street, he may need a very long extension cord to use a regular charger…
Plenty of people have long extensions. Again, not that difficult if the claim is that it is very important for the environment to switch to an EV.
Umm… I was joking about the extension cord, you absolutely cannot run an extension cord down the road, across sidewalks, and to your EV car… you need to be able to park at your house to charge, which isn’t necessarily an option when you have a shared driveway.
How long is your driveway? Not everyone lives on an estate
You’re still not getting it… if his car has to be parked on the street, possibly not that close to his actual house, he is not allowed to run an extension cord across a side walk and down the street… it’s completely impractical.
