No Driveway? Council-Approved Solution Lets You Charge an EV From the Street | VCSA Ross De Rango

Описание: No driveway or garage? Street parking EV charging is one of the biggest barriers to owning an electric vehicle — and this video shows a real, council-approved solution being trialled in Melbourne.

At Everything Electric Melbourne, Ross De Rango from Vehicle Charging Solutions Australia explains a new home EV charging system for people who park on the street. Instead of running extension cords across the footpath, this setup uses an overhead boom that safely carries the charging cable 2.5 metres above the pavement, eliminating trip hazards and safety risks.

In this interview, we cover:

How the street-parking EV charging boom system works
Why extension leads on footpaths are unsafe and unsustainable
Charging from your own solar or off-peak power, even without a driveway
The City of Merri-bek trial (20 installs available, 70 expressions of interest)
Safety standards, council approvals, and what’s required to roll this out nationally

If you don’t have off-street parking and want this solution in your area, register your interest at vcsa.au — the list helps decide which councils are approached next.
