A sensible idea! Lots of old phone booths that could benefit from this too

Some of them do. The power to your home phone came from those boxes which is why the home phone still worked when the rest of the house had no power.

As those boxes run along the road with power lines close by it wouldn't be too hard to retrofit non powered pillars to charging stations.

Yeah but, would those lines be thick enough to carry the power needed for ev charging is what I'm wondering.
