“Bringing Curbside Charging to Your Neighborhood Lampost: Voltpost’s Mission”
The lowly lamppost might be a better option: they’re everywhere, and they have all the wiring needed to make curbside charging seamless.
One startup from New York City, Voltpost, has been working on a product that retrofits existing street lampposts to enable EV charging.
On Thursday, it introduced its lamppost charger after a year of design and development.
Voltpost’s charger docks at hand-level on the lamppost shroud, and the retractable cable has an anchor eight-feet up to keep it off the ground.
As is the case with just about every EV charger network, there’s an app to oversee charging sessions, including payments.
