BMW’s ‘Light & Charge’ integrates street lamps with EV charging for anywhere energy

One of the biggest concerns in the world of EVs is range anxiety. You can have the most efficient, powerful, stylish, and comfortable car in the world, but it’s not much use if it can’t get you where you need to go. Companies like Tesla are committed to the distribution of high-speed superchargers throughout the world, but BMW, who is currently enjoying rising success of the electric i3, has announced plans to expand its own charging network. The German brand unveiled the ‘Light & Charge’ prototype at the Eurocities energy conference in Munich last week, which marries street lights and EV charging stations for the sake of anywhere energy and decreased range worry.
