City councilors will considering whether to let New Orleans residents install electric vehicle charging stations next to curbs.
It's a move that would be a boon for drivers of such vehicles who live in homes without off-street parking.

The New Orleans Advocate reports no decision has been made, but council members appeared receptive as a three-member panel pitched electric car charging solutions last week during a meeting of the council's Public Works, Sanitation and Environment Committee.
According to PlugShare, a locator service for electric vehicle chargers, New Orleans has at least 13 charging stations that have been installed by businesses and at least eight that have been installed by residents, though the latter figure includes only drivers who have signed up with PlugShare.
