BMW Wants to Put a Vehicle Charging Station In Every Street Light

For electric vehicles to truly supplant their gasolene - guzzling predecessors , there require to be as many charging Stations of the Cross on the road as there are gas stations — if not more . So BMW proposes upgrading the street light that already trace road everywhere with charging capableness and energy - effective lighting .

Street lights are already tied in to a city ’s power grid , so it only lay down sense for that existing infrastructure to be used to help further the proliferation of electric vehicles . BMW ’s Light & Charge concept features intelligently - control LED bulb at the top to help reduce the overall cost of running the lights all night , but also a charging station on the base double-dyed with a credit - lineup base defrayment system so anyone could stop for a few hour of succus without the need for an attendant .

The new streetlights are already being test in Oxford , England , and are designed to be establish where there ’s ample parking nearby . So every street lamp in a parking lot could be upgraded , but not those dotting the sides of a busy main road — for safety ’s sake . And even though the initial cost of the novel streetlights and installing would be high , over clock time they could easily pay off for themselves and be a genuine source of income for a city .
