No driveway? You can still charge your car at home.

After more than 3,000 installations across the UK, we've brought our cross-sidewalk charging channel to the US. Here's how we did it.

US city: Rockville, Maryland

Street parking shouldn't rule out home charging.

Clark lives in Rockville, Maryland, and parks on the street outside his home. Like millions of Americans without a driveway or garage, he had no simple, safe way to get a charging cable from his house to his car without trailing it across the sidewalk. So he reached out to us at Kerbo Charge, the team that has solved this problem for more than 3,000 households in the UK, and asked if we could help. (Spoiler alert: we could!)

50¢/kWh

Typical public fast charging, vs. about 18¢ at home.

Charging at home costs about $62 a month. The same miles on public fast chargers: $169. That's nearly 3x more, or around $1,285 a year.

How it works for American homeowners

Charge from your own home electricity, straight to your car at the curb, through a channel that sits flush with the sidewalk and stays safe for everyone.

1

Simple.

Plug into your home charger, feed the cable through the channel across the sidewalk, and plug into your car at the curb.
2

Safe.

The channel sits completely flush, so there's nothing for people on the sidewalk to trip over. It's heel-safe too.
3

Secure.

Insert your cable and the specially designed lid snaps shut behind it, just like a zipper.
