BT Group to turn old street cabinets into electric vehicle charging points

Old green street cabinets will be converted into electric vehicle charging points, according to BT Group. The government's ambition is to increase the number of charging points from more than 50,000 today to 300,000 by 2030 but Zapmap figures show nearly a third of all UK charging points are currently in London. As the boxes become decommissioned, more charging points can be added. "Harnessing existing street furniture is a great way to increase the number of public EV charging points without further adding to clutter along our footpaths," he said. "Making this even more valuable, many of these green street cabinets are located in residential areas across the UK, including smaller villages and towns, where charging infrastructure is most severely lacking."
