London-based Urban Electric (UE) has built a curbside pop-up charger for electric vehicles (EVs). The UEone is designed to let EV owners who don't have a garage or driveway to charge-up on their street. The device is buried until it is needed when it pops out of the ground. UE co-founder Olivier Freeling-Wilkinson said up to 85% of households in some urban residential areas can't charge night at home. The UEone's design allows it to be installed in clusters with integrated demand management, allowing utilities to install the system for entire neighbourhoods.
