BT scraps EV charging point scheme having only installed one

(contd)

I am particularly amused that now they want to focus on the "WiFi
challenges" of EVs - also known as "the easy bit". I imagine if BT were involved in the Apollo programme, they would have focussed on the "Logo challenges" of the project.

Around my way the green cabinets, that they want to re-purpose, all
appear to be situated in places where it would be impractical or
dangerous to park a car to charge it

I really don't think that's a bar.

Seems there are already a few folk who believe they have an inalienable
right ot now park outside their house (on the public highway) *and* run
the BFO cable across the pavement to snare the unwitting pedestrian.

Anyone know what they're on about with the 'wifi challenges of EVs'? I
thought the car would have an LTE modem for satnav etc and that's how
firmware updates come if it can't connect to your home wifi. For all the connected stuff to work (like deicing the car before you get in it) you
need to have a connection to it wherever you parked it, and that means LTE.

Public charge points need connectivity for processing payments etc, but
that's better done with a wire.

Or more word salad from the people who thought green cabinets could be EV chargers?

Indeed. The one nearest here, from which I used to be fed, is on a road junction. But also I doubt if the mains supply to these cabinets is up to charging an EV.

Probably just inventing spurious reasons in a similar way to BT/EE's drone-specific SIM
