®What’s inside
Utility service, electrical panel and charger, all in one steel pedestal.
- 5G wireless antenna
- Utility meter
- Localized utility socket
- Electrical panel
- NEC compliant main disconnect
- 2x 50A 240V circuits, 1x 120V circuitEach charging circuit is dedicated, not shared. The 120V circuit powers the control panel.
- NEMA 14-50 outletFor rapid cable replacement.
- UL Listed NEMA 14-50 EVSE40A/240V with J1772 plug. Swaps in 5 minutes, no electrician required.
- Custom control panel
Durable and reliable
EV chargers suffer from outages due to cracked screens, broken point of sale terminals, cheap plastic chassis and broken cables that can take months to fix.
Curbstar is made in the US and designed for maximum reliability. No screens, no point of sale terminals, and cable replacement is a 5-minute job that doesn’t take an electrician. Drivers pay from their phones, and because the electricity for Curbstar is on a separate utility account, you never have to wonder how much electricity is going into cars and how much is going into your copy machines.

Footprint and mounting template
Every unit ships with a pad mounting template.
It gives your contractor the exact location and dimensions of the service stub, the electrical bonding point and the mounting hardware, so the pad is set right the first time. The pedestal footprint is 19″ wide by 11.5″ deep.
Two configurations
Most common
Ground mount
A freestanding pedestal on a pad, fed from a local utility transformer or from a nearby building. This is the configuration for curbsides, parking lots and anywhere the cars are not next to a wall.
- Pad template with exact mounting and stub-up locations
- Optional bollards where vehicles approach head on
- Cable concealing option
Where there is a wall
Wall mount
The same electronics in a wall mountable chassis, fed from the customer structure. Lower cost, and often avoids a new transformer entirely.
- Best for garages, parking decks and lots that hug a building
- Feeds from existing building service where capacity allows
