Street EV Charging

A mistake in the making

We need to think really hard on if these photos show the future we wish to bring to life. The urban street is constrained; unless we want to demolish many more buildings, a Mid-Century mistake we regret, we should not install and provide curbside electric vehicle charging. We should eliminate internal combustion engines.

There are better mobility solutions which utilize our limited public space in a more equitable and fair manner. In dense cities we need to design the street around people – walkers, bikers, e-bike riders, deliveries – then provide space and infrastructure for private cars. Plopping private car EV chargers on every sidewalk repeats our past mistakes.
