Cross-pavement charging UK 2026. Council EV charging league table. Hyundai Ioniq 3 UK price. EV cost per mile. ZEV mandate consultation. This week on Primetime EV Live — four stories and an explainer in 25 minutes.THE CROSS-PAVEMENT CHARGING LEAGUE TABLE 2026. We checked all 153 highway councils in England. Only 14 take applications for a pavement cable channel today; 103 took government money and have nothing a resident can use. Three — Kent, West Northamptonshire and Brighton & Hove — took the money and still say no. In London, 36% of boroughs block channels, against 6% elsewhere.HYUNDAI IONIQ 3 FROM £18,495. The entry 42kWh car is £22,245, or £18,495 after the £3,750 Electric Car Grant. The 61kWh car is £21,995 after grant with a claimed 308 miles. Hyundai hasn't published the small battery's range or the DC charging speed yet.EXPLAINER — WHAT DOES CHARGING COST PER MILE? Price per kWh divided by miles per kWh. At 3.5 mi/kWh: 6.6p overnight is under 2p a mile, a 54p street charger about 15p, a 79p rapid about 23p. Charge at home at the wrong time and it's about 10p.THE NEW RULES FROM 21 OCTOBER. Cross-pavement channels installed or authorised by the highway council no longer need planning permission in England — except in conservation areas, listed building grounds and scheduled monuments. Council consent is still required. A new consultation on charging for tenants and leaseholders closes 16 December.ZEV MANDATE REVIEW CLOSES TONIGHT. The consultation closes at 11:59pm on 23 October. The FT reports the government is considering a lower 2030 target; that's a report, not a decision.──────────────────────────────⚡ JOIN THE PRIMETIME EV CLUB — FREECheapest public charging rates every month · best lease deals we find.
