It is a neat solution though, every bay can get one, no posts or poles during the day to hinder pavement traffic and then residents come home and plug in. Lots of people won’t carry the pole in their car, they will get it from their house when a charge is required.
The problem with things like lampost charging is there are only a few per street and not always at the kerbside.
Its either something like this or poles permanently mounted, blocking pavements every few metres, handy if you want to deter pavement parking, but a hassle to load and unload the car/passengers etc with the poles at the kerb, with this you only need the pole when you need the charge, for most people that’s once a week.
In life, it's not who you know that's important, it's how your wife found out.
