"Up to 20 residents in Melbourne’s inner-north will trial an innovative
boom-mounted electric vehicle (EV) charging solution that aims to provide
home-to-street charging while keeping footpaths accessible and free from
tripping hazards.
The trial has been approved by the local Merri-bek City Council, covering
suburbs in Melbourne’s inner-north, who have heard from local residents that
the lack of off-street parking had been acting as a barrier to potential EV
ownership.
Merri-bek City Council has partnered with Vehicles Charging Solutions Australia
(VCSA), who have developed a retractable boom that can be installed in the
front garden and runs a charging cable well above the footpath.
The VCS One boom-mounted charging solution avoids the need for cutting
footpaths or installing underground lines and is obviously much quicker and
easier to install."
