Charging at the curb

[rdhauser]

I haven't seen charging setups for areas where parallel parking is the norm. I'm thinking of a residential area where one might park in front of your home. Is there a charging setup which is similar to the RV charging pedestals we sometimes see at motels?

Something like this idea:

Here's some Blink EVSEs installed at the curb in San Diego:

Best to check with your Building Permit department before
doing serious planning for curbside installations.

Thanks, garygid, we're working with them to show that it's a doable thing. The pics that drees has shown are good. I'll fish around the Blink people and see what sort of info they have about those curbside stations.

There's nothing special about the Blink stations - they're standard pedestal EVSEs, the same ones they use for all their other installs. Just about all commercial EVSE vendors (Chargepoint and ClipperCreek for example, there are others) have something similar that could be installed curbside.
