EV Charger & Cable Channel Installation Across East Lothian

Affordable Installation – From £999 + £260 council license fee. And you can take £500 of the cost of your charger with a new government grant.
Save More – Home EV charging can save East Lothian drivers up to £4,000 annually. Use our quick calculator to estimate your potential savings.
Designed to Blend In – Durable, low‑profile, and perfectly suited to both historic villages and newer developments.
Charge your electric car at home in East Lothian, even without a driveway
East Lothian, a scenic area just east of Edinburgh in Scotland, is increasingly adapting to the needs of electric vehicle (EV) owners by expanding public charging options and promoting home EV charging solutions.
For residents in more suburban and rural parts of the county, such as North Berwick, Haddington, and Dunbar, where homes often come with driveways or garages, EV charger installation is both a convenient and cost-effective option. However, in the more densely populated or urban areas of East Lothian, such as Musselburgh and Prestonpans, many homes may lack driveways or off-street parking, making home charging more challenging.
Our cross-pavement channel allows residents to install a cable gully into the pavement outside their home and easily charge on the street without causing hazards, and you can save around £4,000 per year compared to using public charging.
East Lothian Council is known for being an innovator and has trialled different cross-pavement products - the first to go in the ground was Kerbo Charge in September 2024. Installations have been completed at three sites in total and the council is now backing residents with grants and licences to make cross-pavement charging legal and safe
Apply today, and you could be charging your EV on your doorstep in just a few weeks.
How it works for East Lothian residents
Public EV charging can cost around £25 more per full charge than at home (source: Zap Map), which quickly adds up for households relying on street parking.
Our EV charger installation solution gives East Lothian residents a simple, discreet way to charge right outside their homes, keeping pavements clear and preserving the look of local streets. These photos highlight how seamless and unobtrusive roadside EV charging can be.
Simple.
Residents plug into their home charger, feed the EV cable through the cross-pavement channel and plug into their vehicle on-street.
Safe.
The channel is completely flush which ensures there are no trip hazards for pedestrians using the footpath. It’s heel-safe too!
Secure.
Insert your cable and the specially designed lid snaps down behind just like a zip.
