Curbside EV charging in Michigan should become easier in the coming months thanks to a new collaboration between telecom giant AT&T and lamppost EV charging startup Voltpost.
The two have joined forces to bring internet connectivity to EV charging posts across Michigan and the Metro-Detroit area–this way, the operator knows immediately if a stall has gone offline and can send a team to fix it faster.
Voltpost’s lamppost charging solution essentially turns existing street lights into EV chargers. The startup claims the installation of a single stall takes anywhere from one to two hours and that the costs are much lower than a conventional EV charging station.
