AmpUp and EVSE, a division of Control Module, which designs and manufactures patented, retractable-cable EV charging stations and support equipment, has introduced an expanded deployment for the Los Angeles Bureau of Street Lighting (LABSL) providing Level 2 EV chargers for an additional 150 existing streetlight poles throughout LA communities.

EVSE offers a light pole-mounted EV solution that can be installed on existing or new structures. EVSE said this solution can lower installation costs by up to 70% compared to ground-mounted stations by eliminating digging-related construction and reducing the need for electrical wiring. Installed above grade at 10 feet, the 25-foot cable descends upon activation and retracts when unplugged from the vehicle.
