The Curb Charger, developed by Rheinmetall, is a new type of EV charger that integrates into the curb, providing a solution for urban areas. Its design is aimed at enhancing existing structures without cluttering city streets with bulky charging stations. This innovation benefits apartment owners who have on-street parking, offering them the convenience of charging overnight. Additionally, the charger’s discreet design minimizes urban visual disturbance while accommodating requirements for durability and safety. Other companies are also exploring similar concepts through various design adaptations.
"The Curb Charger upgrades existing urban infrastructure and adds hardly any additional street furniture to cities," says Felix Stracke, vice president of new mobility at Rheinmetall.
For apartment dwellers parking on the street, curb charging improves EV ownership by allowing them to charge overnight without additional trips to charging locations.
