I suppose it depends how it's done. It could be that it's simpler to use the cabinet supply as the source and spread out the charging points along the road via the cable ducts.

Doing that is cheaper that running whole new supplies by digging down to the electrical cables and starting from there.[COLOR="Silver"]

I wonder if the move to LED lighting would be an issue there as the supplies to the poles may be lower rated than is needed for cars.
