Londoner Lauren uses a char.gy lamp post charger - (char.gy) For many people thinking about buying an electric car, the first question is a simple one: where am I going to charge it? For Lauren, who lives in Haringey, North London, the answer was not on a driveway or from a home charger – she doesn’t have either. Instead, she parks on the street, plugs into a char.gy on-street charging point near her home every couple of weeks and wakes up with enough charge for the next round of journeys.
