What is a curbside EV charger?
Electric vehicle adoption keeps growing, but what happens when you don’t have a garage or driveway to charge at home?
A curbside EV charger is a public charging station installed along the edge of the street, designed to give EV drivers without private parking a convenient charging option.
In cities where many people live in apartments or condos, having a personal charger just isn’t possible. That’s why curbside chargers are becoming a key part of urban EV infrastructure. They work like parking meters and are found near sidewalks, often built into streetlights or standalone poles. With easy access through mobile apps or RFID cards, these chargers give drivers an affordable, convenient way to keep their cars powered—no driveway required.

How are curbside EV chargers different from other public chargers?
Street-side chargers solve a unique challenge: charging when private parking isn’t available.
Unlike chargers found at shopping malls or highway rest stops, curbside chargers are placed right along public streets, giving daily drivers access to regular charging where they park overnight.
This kind of EV charger is about solving real-world problems for city drivers. Many people I talk to say they want to switch to electric, but they don’t have anywhere to plug in. That’s where curbside chargers come in. These units are usually Level 2 chargers, meaning they provide a good balance between speed and affordability. Some even include DC fast chargers in busy areas. Most are installed into lampposts or poles already in place, making installation easier and more affordable for cities.
Curbside vs. Other EV Charging Options
| Charging Type | Typical Location | Charging Speed | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Home Charger | Garage/Driveway | Level 1 or Level 2 | Daily overnight charging |
| Public Fast Charger | Highways, Malls | DC Fast | Long-distance travel |
| Curbside Charger | City Streets, Curbs | Mostly Level 2 | Apartment/Urban drivers |
| Workplace Charger | Office Parking Lots | Level 2 | Daily work commutes |
The real benefit is flexibility. With curbside options, EV ownership becomes realistic for millions who were previously left out due to parking limitations.

What are the benefits of curbside EV chargers?
As more cities commit to sustainability, they’re turning to curbside EV chargers to encourage electric driving. These chargers are a smart way to increase access without major construction. I’ve seen firsthand how they make a difference in dense neighborhoods. Residents don’t need to search far for a station or sit for hours at a fast charger—they just park where they live or work. Many units are designed to match city aesthetics, blending into the urban landscape while serving a vital role. Plus, since many operate with smart features like reservation systems and usage tracking, cities can manage energy loads better while offering a good user experience.
Opportunities in Curbside EV Charging for OEMs
Bulk Orders? Custom Specs? No Problem.
If you’re an OEM, parts dealer, or urban planner, this trend matters to you. I’ve worked with many clients in Europe, the Middle East, and South America who face the same issue: how do you provide EV infrastructure in compact, high-density areas? That’s why curbside solutions are in demand. Cities are partnering with private suppliers to speed up deployment.
And this is where custom EVSE, like what we provide at BESEN, plays a big role. You can tailor products to meet local regulations, brand requirements, and space constraints. You can also integrate smart software, monitoring systems, and energy management tools to fit your network goals. This creates a cleaner city and a competitive edge for you.
