Using street lamps as EV chargers

In a documentary about a homeless encampment (in america) I viewed not long ago, the residents had spliced into a lamp post to provide power to their and their neighbours tents. It was truly a hacker inspired, move fast and break things approach.

This research seems to be inspired by the same content and appears to be an attempt to commercialise the same technology.

I can’t wait for people and companies to realize “oh no, we only wanted to give easy electricity access to rich people’s cars, not to the homeless people, let’s add another layer of dystopia to fix that”
