Home charger recommendations for a terraced house?

Living in a Victorian terrace in Bristol - no driveway, just on-street parking directly in front of the house. Is it worth getting a home charger installed or should I rely on the lamp post chargers? My Born charges from 10-80% in about 35 mins on a fast charger, but that's not exactly relaxing.

Check if you can get a cross-pavement cable channel installed - my mate in Leeds did that with his EV6 and it works a treat. He got a wallbox on the front wall and runs the cable under a rubber channel over the pavement. Needs council permission though.

I don't have a driveway either. I use a mix of the village charger and an extension from the house when I park on the drive at my daughter's. Works but not ideal. The lamp post chargers are getting more reliable at least.

Got a Pod Point installed on my front wall. The cable channel took about 8 weeks for the council to approve but totally worth it. Charging at home is a game changer, honestly.
