not having any experience of street lighting infrastructure this comment in my local rag got me thinking. will it work??
"Another "exciting" project working with Norfolk County Council is looking at adapting streetlights to create charging points in residential areas.
The columns, the report states, normally have a larger electricity supply that the street light actually needs.
Power from a street light can work at 5kW - enough to charge a 60kW battery overnight, or to top-up following an average daily commute in just over an hour."
are the supply cables for street lighting big enough to do this?
