Cornwall isn’t just famous for its stunning coastlines and pasties, it’s also leading the charge toward a cleaner, greener future. With more drivers switching to electric vehicles every day, the question isn’t if you’ll go electric, but how you’ll keep your car powered up.

Public charging points are popping up across the county, from Truro to Penzance, but let’s face it, nothing beats the convenience (and savings!) of charging at home. If you’ve got a driveway in places like Falmouth or St Austell, home EV charger installation is simple. But what if you live in Newquay, Camborne, or the narrow streets of St Ives where on-street parking is the norm? That’s where Cornwall’s smart solution comes in.

Meet the cable gully system - a discreet, pavement-friendly channel that lets you run your charging cable safely across the footpath. No trip hazards. No messy workarounds. Just easy, affordable home charging right outside your door.

Why does this matter? Because off-peak home electricity rates can be as low as 7.5p/kWh (e.g. Octopus Energy), compared to 55p/kWh at many public chargers. That’s a potential saving of around £4,000 a year, money better spent on a weekend in Padstow than on charging fees.

And here’s the best part: Cornwall Council now supports cross-pavement charging for all residents. Apply today and take the first step toward stress-free, cost-effective EV ownership.
