bij de meeste merken kiezen ze een auto en wordt er een laadpaal inbegrepen in de prijs thuis.. Er ontstaat voor de burger zonder carport, zonder garage en zonder toestemming zoals in gent om zijn voortuin te verharden een kloof

In Los Angeles - waar 2 op 3 huurders wonen - gaan ze het nu ook meer doen zoals menige steden in Europa.

Hun energieverslindende oude straatverlichting wordt massaal op de zuinige led omgesteld en het vermogenoverschot gebruiken ze voor een trage laadpaal te voeden, om de x- xx- parkeerplaatsen.

(die laadpost heeft meestal 3 kW tot zelfs 7,7 kW naargelang wat vermogen er in die straten ligt en aantal laadparkeerplaatsen, bronnen heb ik, London bvb gaat tot 7,7 kW wat al fors is voor langdurig laden: https://insideevs.com/news/340222/ho...om-a-lamppost/ ).

Win-win.

Het vermogen ligt er, veel goedkopere constructie want de lichte laadpaal wordt gewoon aan de verlichtingspaal gemonteerd.

Parkeren enkel zolang als je laad, simpel te controleren.

LA adds hundreds of EV chargers to streetlights, giving renters a place to plug in

Bradley Berman - Nov. 13th 2019

The City of Los Angeles has installed EV charging stations directly attached to more than 130 streetlight poles. Hundreds more are planned. The streamlined solution to electric-car charging has been deployed in major European cities but not so much yet in America. But it makes total sense for a city like LA that has a large population of EV drivers, many who don’t have the ability to charge at home.

Mayor Eric Garcetti’s Green New Deal aims to have at least 100,000 new electric vehicles in the city by 2025. However, about two-thirds of Los Angeles households are renters, according to LAist.com.

“When the city decided that one of their priorities was to encourage the purchase of EV vehicles, it seemed prudent that it would be best to attach EV charging stations to our light poles,” said Norma Isahakian, director of the Los Angeles Bureau of Street Lighting.

She explained that a slim charger mounted to a light pole “eliminates another piece of equipment to be constructed into the sidewalk and utilize our circuitry.”

The city’s conversion of street lights to energy-efficient LEDs made the EV solution possible. The fee for charging is typically $1 to $2 per hour. Parking is free.

The stations are operated by charging network companies familiar to EV drivers, such as ChargePoint, EVGo, Flo, and GreenLots. The first light pole chargers were installed in 2016, but the effort intensified after LA launched its Green New Deal in May 2019.

The plan calls to increase the percentage of EVs in the city to 25% of vehicles by 2025, 80% by 2035, and 100% by 2050.

In a new YouTube video about the curbside charging stations, Angelica Frias, smart city strategist for the city of LA, said:

“The bureau of street lighting is in charge of the operation and maintenance of the street lighting system of over 222,000 street lights throughout the city of Los Angeles. The inspiration for the curbside charging station was borne out of the city’s adoption of a sustainable plan, LA’s green new deal. To increase electric vehicle usage, the city needs to provide accessible charging to reduce range anxiety. Since LA installed LED fixtures citywide, we decided that instead of attaching an additional piece of equipment to attach the electric vehicle charger on our street lights.”

In the video, an EV driver named Ryan explains that he likes the solution because the charger is located on the block where he lives.

The Bureau of Street Lighting plans to add 150 more EV chargers to its street lights each year, with support of grants from the California Air Resources Board and California Energy Commission – as well as partnerships with EV charging networks like Flo.

Of luister eens ff naar die mensen van het Street Lightning Bureau:

Mss kan Brussel en andere Belgische steden daar ook eens aan denken als ze toch meer EVs verwachten binnen enkele jaren?

Gewoon eens meegaan met de tijd kan toch niet teveel gevraagd zijn?

Ze kunnen al eens beginnen met een deftige inventaris te maken van hun verlichtingspalen en specifiek beschikbaar vermogen in hun straten. lol.
Hopelijk hebben ze dat al gedaan en liggen de plannen er al. Preventief werken noemt men dat.

Laden voor dummies op parkeerplaatsen bij appartementcomplexen zonder eigen garages. En de probleempjes met diverse laadpluggen.

Bij bepaalde wagens (zeker Tesla) heb je best een kleine adapter nodig want de plug past niet:
