While these look cool, they seem like they’d be a maintenance nightmare. Water instrusion/parts lubrication/snow & ice/kids riding it up and down like an elevator…
This looks expensive, over complicated, and failure prone. This seems like a bad solution to a problem that doesn’t exist. What good is a charger that people can’t find? If there are signs for it the what is the point of hiding it?
And it’ll be even loess cluttered and space-consuming than that photo, because apparently folks across the pond carry their charging cable with them. That’s not done in the US, so each charger has its own cables attached.

Why would anyone need this?
As if finding a charger when you need one isn’t hard enough.
This is the second kind of in-ground charger prototype I’ve seen being tested in the UK, and I just don’t really get the point. Why massively overcomplicate it, when you can just put one of [these](https://www.uwo.ca/parking/img/Charging%20Station%20and%20sign%20VA%20450%20x%20300.jpg) up?

why tho? just leave it permanently up and put some crash bars around it
what a pile o Shiite.
Hope they designed this well to be waterproof/sealed to withstand Plymouth weather
