About this episode
Bristols New Electric Vehicle Charging Stations: Cost, Speed, and Accessibility Concerns
These compact black devices, installed on lamp posts across Bristol, are electric vehicle charging stations that utilize existing streetlight power. While theyre gaining traction, especially in older neighborhoods, users need their own cable, the Fuuse app, and a parking spot. However, concerns about unclear parking rules and high costs, with charges at fifty-five pence per kilowatt hour, are emerging. City leaders, however, see this as a step towards reducing emissions and expanding charging options as part of the City Leap project with Ameresco.

People are reacting mostly to the cost and slow speed, at 55 pence per kilowatt hour, and just 3.4 kilowatts, meaning a full. Overnight charge runs about 33 pounds, double what you pay at home. City leaders praise the move as part of the City Leap project with Amarisco, aiming to cut emissions and add 150 points, with more.
