In Rome we have some 30+ plugs spread here and there and it's even for free by now!
Most of the people here don't realize that every other streetlight has an outlet in it. You have to take one of the lower covers off to find it, but it's there. That's why its easy to find them around Christmas. The outlets are unmetered, but if the city Fathers wanted to regulate your charge I am sure they will find a way.
