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.

Better solution is to have the city install multiple chargers on his street, and treat them as parking-while-charging-only.

I'm not in Toronto, but the city installed a twin car charger across the street from my place, and I'd say it's in use 50% of the time from 8am to 8pm. It's rare someone would need to charge overnight unless they rolled in at near 0%.
