Australian infrastructure startup EVX is developing a compact, pole-mounted DC fast charger designed to output between 40 kW and 50 kW. Planned for a 2027 rollout, the hardware aims to significantly accelerate street-side charging sessions for urban drivers lacking private garages or driveways. By mounting the chargers directly onto existing utility poles, the company hopes to scale neighborhood fast charging without monopolizing sidewalk space.
The Australian Renewable Energy Agency has awarded grant funding to a domestic startup developing pay-per-use EV charging outlets tailored for multi-unit dwellings and public garages. The initiative is designed to simplify shared charging in apartment buildings and short-term rentals without requiring costly dedicated charger installations. By automating billing directly at the power outlet, the project aims to expand charging access for drivers without private driveways.
The City of Seattle is expanding public charging access by funding up to 200 new curbside Level 2 charging stations across neighborhoods by 2030. Managed under its Curbside Level 2 EV Charging Program, the initiative targets drivers without dedicated home garages or off-street parking. The program aims to make EV ownership more practical and equitable for apartment dwellers and urban renters.
The City of Seattle is launching an initiative to deploy up to 200 public curbside Level 2 EV charging stations across residential neighborhoods by 2030. Designed primarily to support apartment dwellers and drivers without dedicated off-street parking, the program allows residents to request a charger near their homes. Municipal utility officials will evaluate proposed sites based on electrical grid capacity, street feasibility, and local demand.
Seattle is rolling out hundreds of new curbside Level 2 chargers to make electric vehicle ownership more feasible for apartment dwellers and residents without dedicated garages. City officials plan to prioritize installations in multifamily neighborhoods while allowing the community to help request and select specific charger locations.
The British government has eliminated the requirement for planning permission to install cross-pavement EV charging channels, removing a layer of bureaucracy for street-parking drivers. The decision allows car owners to cut narrow gullies into sidewalks to safely run cables from home wallboxes to kerbside vehicles without creating trip hazards. Officials estimate the rule change could save motorists around £300, lowering the barrier to electric vehicle adoption for the millions of UK homes that lack driveways.
The UK government is eliminating planning permission requirements for cross-sidewalk EV charging channels, making it easier for drivers without dedicated driveways to charge at home. By embedding low-profile conduits under the pavement, urban residents can run cables safely from their household power supply instead of relying on costlier public chargers. The policy shift aims to accelerate EV adoption across dense residential streets by drastically cutting upfront red tape and installation costs.
New York City is set to significantly expand its EV charging infrastructure as Maverick Construction takes the lead on installing the permanent PlugNYC curbside network across all five boroughs. This initiative, under a contract awarded to 'it's electric,' aims to provide crucial charging access for urban EV owners who lack private parking options. The buildout underscores a growing focus on integrating EV solutions into dense city environments.
