An apparatus for charging electric vehicles (EVs) in a car park includes a tower housing 101 having a square-shaped cross-section with corners 102, 103 and a top 104, wherein a support 105-107 extends from each corner and a roof shelter 111 is attached to the top. Each of the supports are configured to rest upon dividing grid-lines 112 of a car park and each support may define curved profiles 113 in two dimensions as they extend to connect with the tower housing. The apparatus may include cells of a battery for storing charge, wherein some, or all, of the cells are contained within the supports to enhance the stability of the apparatus. Charge cables 121, connectable to EVs, may hang down from the roof shelter, each cable of a length to support a vehicle-connector above ground level when not connected to a vehicle. In a separate embodiment, an EV charging apparatus has a housing with a right-angled, isosceles triangle shaped cross-section, wherein a roof section extends over a front, presented at the base of the triangle, with the right angle positioned at the back. A cable extends from, and is supported by, the roof section, to hang vertically. The cable is of sufficient length to engage with a vehicle for charging but is held off the floor when not in use.
