Total success story about EVs

Around my way the green cabinets, that they want to re-purpose, all appear to be situated in places where it would be impractical or dangerous to park a car to charge it

I really don't think that's a bar.

Seems there are already a few folk who believe they have an inalienable right ot now park outside their house (on the public highway) *and* run the BFO cable across the pavement to snare the unwitting pedestrian.

Wait 'til they trip up DOF[1] who breaks a leg.

Anyone know what they're on about with the 'wifi challenges of EVs'? I thought the car would have an LTE modem for satnav etc and that's how firmware updates come if it can't connect to your home wifi. For all the connected stuff to work (like deicing the car before you get in it) you need to have a connection to it wherever you parked it, and that means LTE.

Public charge points need connectivity for processing payments etc, but that's better done with a wire.

Or more word salad from the people who thought green cabinets could be EV chargers?

Probably just inventing spurious reasons in a similar way to BT/EE's drone-specific SIM

Indeed. The one nearest here, from which I used to be fed, is on a road junction. But also I doubt if the mains supply to these cabinets is up to charging an EV.

I can think of several good reasons for having a special sim for drones. The most important one is likely to be that high-altitude transmissions will be visible to a very large number of base stations. This can greatly reduce the overall network throughput. A special sim can be forced to use one of a small number of channels dedicated for the purpose, protecting the rest of the network.
