Surrey County Council has launched a new option for residents without off-street parking to be able to charge their EVs from home by having a cable gully installed. The cable gullies allow residents to run an EV charging cable across the pavement, safely, to be able to benefit from cheaper home charging rates.<\/p>\n

In partnership with Kerbo Charge, the cable gullies were initially trialled in 2024 and, following the successful application for funding from the Department for Transport Electric Vehicles Pavement Channel Grant, the process is now being offered to all eligible Surrey residents.<\/p>\n

When it\u2019s time to charge, residents insert their EV charging cable into the channel and the specially-designed lid closes behind like a zip -keeping pavements trip-free.\u00a0Kerbo Charge is designed and manufactured in the UK and flexes to fit the shape of our pavements.<\/p>\n

Surrey County Council Cabinet Member for Highways, Transport and Economic Growth Cllr Matt Furniss, said, <\/p>\n

\u201cEV charging needs to be accessible for all Surrey residents, not just those with a driveway. I\u2019m delighted we\u2019ve been able to launch this scheme to help people access home charging for their EVs. Alongside the 500 on-street EV chargepoints we\u2019ve installed across Surrey, we\u2019re making EV ownership a real option for more people \u2013 helping to make Surrey a greener, cleaner place.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kerbo Charge Co-Founder Michael Goulden, said, <\/p>\n

\u201cCongratulations to Surrey County Council! We\u2019re delighted to see over 100 applications in the first 24 hours of the scheme opening \u2013 this is simply about offering more choice to residents about how they charge their car and removing barriers to EV adoption. We\u2019re looking forward to seeing lots of residents making the move from petrol\/diesel to electric in the months ahead.\u201d<\/p>\n
