Street Lamp Charging Stations

The 'EVIE' Lamppost EV Charger Maximizes Power Access

— March 21, 2024 — Eco
The 'EVIE' lamppost EV charger has been conceptualized by the UK-based Alloy design agency as a solution for the cityscape to help support the shift towards electric cars.

The lamppost maintains a simple and modern aesthetic that would democratize electric vehicle charging stations by making them accessible on roadways rather than requiring drivers to have their own private charging station. The accompanying app would offer real-time location data to let drivers easily find a spot, book it and pay with total ease. The lamppost would provide illumination to the surrounding environment, while built-in cameras would offer drivers a view to their car for peace of mind.

The 'EVIE' lamppost EV charger is imagined alongside the 'EVIE Mini,' which could be installed in parking lots in public areas like around grocery stores or restaurants.
Trend Themes
1. Lamppost EV Chargers - Innovative lamppost EV chargers democratize access to electric vehicle charging stations on roadways, eliminating the need for private charging stations.
2. Real-time Location Apps - Apps providing real-time location data for finding, booking, and paying for charging spots bring convenience and ease to EV drivers.
3. Integrated Camera Technology - Lampposts with built-in cameras offering car visibility enhance driver peace of mind and security in parking areas.
Industry Implications
1. Urban Infrastructure - Urban infrastructure companies can explore innovative designs for integrating EV chargers into existing lampposts to support the growing electric vehicle market.
2. Mobile App Development - Mobile app development firms have opportunities to create user-friendly platforms that streamline the process of locating and booking EV charging spots in real-time.
3. Surveillance Technology - Companies specializing in surveillance technology can consider integrating camera systems into urban infrastructure like lampposts to enhance security features for vehicle owners.
