While I agree that this is obvious low hanging fruit, there are plenty of housing in areas with relatively sparse street lamps

- lazyasciiart 6y agoAssuming you mean rural areas, they have their own parking.
- bradlys 6y agoEven where I live, the streets are full of cars but there are maybe 2-3 lamp posts on the street. You’d need lamp posts every 50 feet on both sides of the street. Which we definitely don’t have. I live in the peninsula in the Bay Area in a rich neighborhood. If there is that many cars on the street here in a place with $2mil+ homes then there’s no way it’s gonna work in other areas as well.
- ryandrake 6y agoI’ve lived in mostly working class suburban neighborhoods and it’s the same thing: the entire street is Joe’s Used Car Lot. Two cars in each driveway, and more cars packed in every available nugget of street between driveways. Ain’t nobody gonna be charging all those cars if they were EVs.
- pacaro 6y agoI absolutely don't mean rural areas, I mean medium density urban communities with very low levels of street lighting, which is great from a light pollution perspective, but less good from a bootstrapping a charging infrastructure perspective
