Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story:The Curb Charger is manufactured by Rheinmetall, a German arms manufacturer with a mobility division. At just 176 pounds, the curb charger comes in a block that’s easy to retrofit to any size sidewalk. As the name implies, the Curb Charger replaces a small portion of the curb along city streets, allowing the charger to take up effectively zero sidewalk real estate. It didn’t take us long to notice that the Curb Charger doesn’t include a charging cable. As a bonus, the Curb Chargers are hot-swappable, should anything go wrong with them.
