Brand new and obsolete already. Going to need to have chargers retrofitted somehow.

Far more likely that charging will get faster and faster and people will use petrol station style charging facilities. There's already 20 minutes to 90% charges available at service stations and supermarkets. 

Unlikely. Rapid charging is much, much, much more expensive than AC charging at home. It also puts more stress on the battery so ideally you won't be doing it too often. After a while an AC change is advisable anyway as it allows the battery cells to balance, which rapid DC charging usually doesn't unless you extend the charge time by going to 100%.

Also keep in mind that while some expensive cars can charge that fast, the more affordable ones tend to take a little longer and that probably won't change much. The additional cooling needed and higher rate of degradation is reflected in the manufacturing cost.

All that will happen is people start trailing cables over the pavement, instead of paying 10x as much to use a rapid charger.

Oh, and the beige colour is horrible. I think it's called "NHS prosthetic" or something like that. A measly two solar panels as well. Doubtless a bit of box ticking.

Anyone got a few quid down the back of the sofa ?

Yes, actually, I was tempted for a minute but wouldn't buy from someone who doesn't know how to make a bed properly.  Sorry, but one must have standards.

One would sack housekeeping and employ suitably vetted staff. Simples.

Was going  to put in an offer but then would have none left for the heating bills.

Plenty of room for a decent size house... But nah, let's waste it on another micro home.

Looks out of scale to the buildings either side - Has it been photoshopped in ?

I think perspective is hindering it.

It's further back than the property on the right and possibly the left. It's possibly a poor angle.

I would like to see streetview though.

Spot the cat (straightforward ) also spot the infamous "spite wall" https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/122358407

Possibly. Using a very short focal length lens would give a distorted perspective. Really not a good look.
