The lamppost maintains a simple and modern aesthetic that would democratize [electric vehicle charging stations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-vehicle-station) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chargepoint-omni-port) like around grocery stores or restaurants. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.6/10 - Popularity: 84% | Activity: 62% | Freshness: 22% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) > [Transportation](https://www.trendhunter.com/transportation) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Lamppost EV Chargers:** Innovative lamppost EV chargers democratize access to electric vehicle charging stations on roadways, eliminating the need for private charging stations. - **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. - **Integrated Camera Technology:** Lampposts with built-in cameras offering car visibility enhance driver peace of mind and security in parking areas. ### Where This Applies - **Urban Infrastructure:** Urban infrastructure companies can explore innovative designs for integrating EV chargers into existing lampposts to support the growing electric vehicle market. - **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. - **Surveillance Technology:** Companies specializing in surveillance technology can consider integrating camera systems into urban infrastructure like lampposts to enhance security features for vehicle owners. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Artistic Lamppost EV Chargers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/voltpost.md) - [Vehicle-Matching Charger Stations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clair-electric-vehicle-charger.md) - [Pole-Mounted EV Chargers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/national-grid.md) - [Scalable EV Charging Stations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/epit-ultra-fast-charging-station.md) - [Parking Spot Vehicle Chargers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/watt-ev-charger.md) - [Sleekly Designed EV Chargers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/genesis-ev-home-charger.md) - [Unwinding Multifunctional Charging Stations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/better-energy-charge.md) - [Emotive EV Charging Stations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kvitter-ev-charger.md) - [Eco EV Charging Stations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/retail-and-electric-vehicle-charging-station.md)
