I see power cables running out to a car parked in front of a house fairly regularly.

In inner Sydney suburbs with terrace houses, the 2sigma distance to your street parked car might be 100 metres. You can't run an extension cord that far

The government/local councils seem to be able to work out how to power the parking meters. There's no reason why each parking spot couldn't have a charging pole installed with smartcard or NFC via mobile app registration and payment.

There are plenty of solutions, what's needed is the will of government to deploy those solutions.

How impractical is assigning parking spots?
