Millions of UK drivers want the convenience and savings of charging their electric vehicle at home, but for those without a driveway, this hasn’t always been straightforward. This is why we have partnered with Cord to make home EV charging more accessible for households with on-street parking.
This partnership joins together both Cord’s smart home charging solutions, and Kerbo Charge’s innovative cross-pavement cable channel technology, creating a simple, intertwined process for drivers who want to charge at home safely and affordably.
Eligible homeowners and renters with on-street parking could also receive up to £500 through the Government’s Electric Vehicle Chargepoint Grant, helping to reduce the cost of installation and making the switch to electric even more affordable.
And the benefits don’t stop there. Customers who install a Cord Zero charger can also take advantage of Cord Rewards, Cord Zero customers can join Cord Rewards, which pays drivers for charging at the cheapest and greenest times. Through smart scheduling, customers can earn up to £144 a year* plus a £5 welcome bonus.
For many drivers, the lack of off-street parking has been a significant barrier to home charging. Through this partnership, customers can check whether we are available in their area, arrange installation of a cross-pavement solution, and then have a Cord Zero charger installed, all through a streamlined process designed to remove the hassle.
Our patented cable channel allows charging cables to run safely beneath the pavement surface, helping drivers charge from home while keeping paths clear and accessible. Combined with the award-winning Cord Zero charger, customers can enjoy convenient home charging while benefiting from cheaper electricity tariffs and greater control over their charging costs.
The good news is that over 80% of English local authorities have successfully applied for funds from the £25m Electric Vehicle (EV) pavement channels grant. Combined with a separate grant funded by Transport Scotland, offering up to £3,500 towards a cross-pavement charging solution, soon nearly all 8 million households without driveways will have the option to charge from home.
As electric vehicle adoption continues to grow across the UK, both Cord and Kerbo Charge share a commitment to ensuring that home charging is available to as many drivers as possible, not just those with off-street parking.
For eligible customers, the combination of government support, trusted installation and innovative charging technology creates one of the simplest routes yet to home EV charging.

* The figure assumes all qualifying charging has been met. It is based on an average weekly charge of around 100 kWh into the EV (roughly two full charges), and a reasonable estimate of flexibility value drawn from 6 months of historical wholesale (EPEX) market pricing.
