A deployable electric vehicle charging point 10 having a housing 12 for burying underground and a post 14 with a power distribution connector 18, 20. The post is mounted in the housing about a pivotal axis 16 and is movable about this axis between an inoperative position within the housing (Figure 2) and an operative position. When in the operative position the post may be at either an acute, obtuse or right angle to the top of the housing, allowing the post to project vertically from the ground even when the ground is not level (e.g. on a hill). A motor may be used to move the post between operative and inoperative positions, and a plate (28, Figures 3A-3C) which covers the housing when the charging point is in the operative positive may be provided.
