We’ve seen a bunch curbside chargers that enable apartment dwellers to join the electric revolution without having to always top up away from home, but the one from Rheinmetall AG is about the least obtrusive. The street-level charger replaces concrete curbs with a Level 2 charge point.
That too. By me, we can get 8-16" overnight a few times in winter and those caps would be frozen closed with ice. Most of the time the snow stays on the curbs for weeks or months. Maybe the internal heater mentioned can keep it from freezing closed, but the water and salt does some damage on everything.
They say they tested in the Cologne area, which is pretty light in snowfall AFAIK.
A lot of Europe experiences very little snow, so they certainly have a market. I agree this wouldn’t work in Quebec.
