I’ve not seen any lamp post EV charge points in my part of the UK, but then I’ve not been looking.
Lamp post charging is seen as a solution to EV charging where the EV owner doesn’t have off street parking / off street charging facilities (e.g. high rise apartments, terraced housing). The lamp posts have charging points integrated into them and I’m assuming there’ll be a payment card reader in the lamp post so users have a means of paying for the electricity they’ve used to charge their vehicles.
However, in the UK not all streets have street lighting, and those that do may have insufficient lamp posts with charge points to meet demand, so it won’t be a complete solution. Those EV owners without their own off street home charging facilities or easy access to on-street lamp post charge point will probably have to use the public charging stations - the electric equivalent of the fuel (gas) station. I’m assuming the public charging stations be the most expensive EV charging option too, as there’d be a need for (expensive) rapid charging to get vehicles charged quickly to free up the charge points for other waiting vehicles.
You can read more about lamp post charging it at the link below. I’ve not read it so if you do, you’ll know more about the subject than me.
