That was the first product released >10 years ago at my previous job [1]. The idea did not quite catch on, though, and the product was repurposed (successfully) as an OEM charger. There is not a lot of power available on street lamps and charging at 3.6kW is kind of slow. Consider that with almost the same hardware (especially the same expensive parts) and three-phase current, 22kW are possible.
It might turn out differently in the US, but it is hardly a new idea.

- ninalanyon 11mo ago3.6 kW gives between 10 and 20 km of range per hour of charging depending on the vehicle you have. This is plenty fast enough for overnight charging.
- micromacrofoot 11mo agoYes I've never bothered with a higher output for my own home charger, a standard outlet is plenty if you're parked every night
