Novel charging module brings EV top-ups to the curbside (newatlas.com)

We've seen a bunch curbside chargers that enable apartment dwellers to join the electric revolution without having to always top up away from home, but the one from Rheinmetall AG is about the least obtrusive. The street-level charger replaces concrete curbs with a Level 2 charge point.

Unobtrusive, but not exactly the most accessible of solutions.

Yeah, you'd need some way to make this usable for people who can't bend over/get up on the curb. The former seems somewhat easier because you can just have a charging cable "on a stick," with the release mechanism up top. Dunno how you'd solve the latter.
