This electric vehicle charger disappears into the sidewalk when not in use:
Maybe the best electric vehicle charging is the one that goes away when you aren't using it. It's at least an idea worth trying, thinks, which revealed the first images of its UEone"pop-up" charging hub today. Urban Electric says that this new kind of electric vehicle charging architecture"preserves the urban streetscape" and allows EV drivers to charge overnight while parked in the street and then make the chargers go away when not in use.
Urban Electric, based in the UK, was awarded 452,000 pounds for its next-generation hub. The award was part of a 3.8-million pound project by Innovate UK to develop a"Clean Street" that allows on-street charging but also"." In its application for the grant money, Urban Electric pitched its chargers as a way to get EVs into the hands of more people.
The lack of at-home charging for residents with only access to on-street parking affects up to 11.6 million households in the UK alone. This will severely limit the scope for future implementation of government policy to encourage the uptake of EVs.Urban Electric says that its EV chargers can charge at 7 kW and require no special equipment. The company has already installed a prototype 6-charger hub in Oxford..
Urban Electric Networks Ltd was founded by Olivier Freeling-Wilkinson and Keith Johnston and was voted as a Top 6 European Cleantech Start-up in 2018 by Climate-KIC, Europe's climate innovation agency. The company is planning on going into commercial production if the current and upcoming trials are successful and says that it will earn money by selling electricity used to charge the EVs as well as with direct sales of its UEone charge points.
