There are lots of people who can't easily have an electric car,
they
include my parents who live in a street of Victorian terraces with
narrow pavement. However I think more than half the population
could
charge at home.

So what do the other half do..?

Something else. There doesn't need to be one solution for everyone.

but the solution isn't in the hands of individual - I can't just
decide to have a charge point connected to the local street lamppost

No-one can because the street lights are on circuits not much
biggerÂ* thanÂ* a 13A ring main, Separate from the supply to
premises. UnlessÂ* the premisesÂ* supply is on overhead wires
(typically rural areas),Â* when there's a wholeÂ* other set of
constraints in the overall amperage.

HMG has to facilitate it (even if they don't directly provide it)

County Councils provide the street lighting.

not where I live they don't :-)

Â*Unitary Authority?

or London Borough, City of London or Westminster,

If those are equivalent in the distribution of civic responsibilities to
a unitary authority, then they come into the same basket.

TfL, Highways England, ...

Not sure what housing estates either of those will be lighting.

Ribbon developments?
