Lamp posts in London are being turned into charging points 

London’s lamp posts are being transformed into electric vehicle charging points, as Kensington and Chelsea Council announce a new initiative to let drivers plug their cars directly into streetlights.

“There's no additional powering or increase in the lamp post infrastructure in order to supply extra power,” Tom Pakenham, Head of Electric Vehicles at OVO told Alphr. He notes that this is made possible by the nationwide lamp post upgrade program, “where they're [replacing] halogen or incandescent bulbs up to LED, which has a lower power draw. This frees up a bunch of power on each lamp post to be used for charging.”
Gerard Hargreaves, Kensington and Chelsea Council Lead Member for Transport, says there is a growing demand for charging facilities in the borough: “Most residents do not have access to off-street parking to charge an electric vehicle. Retro-fitting street lamps with charging technology allows drivers to conveniently charge their vehicles closer to home, while helping to tackle air pollution in London.
