Renfrewshire, a dynamic region in Scotland just west of Glasgow, is stepping up to meet the growing needs of electric vehicle (EV) drivers by improving public charging access and exploring more home-based charging solutions.

In many parts of Renfrewshire—like Bridge of Weir, Houston, and Bishopton—homes often come with driveways or garages, making home EV charging a straightforward and cost-effective option. But in more urban areas like Paisley, Johnstone, and Renfrew, where off-street parking is less common, charging at home can be a real challenge.

That’s where our cross-pavement channel comes in. It allows residents to run a charging cable safely across the pavement from their home to their car, without creating a trip hazard. It’s a low-cost solution that could save you up to £1,100 per year compared to relying solely on public chargers.

Renfrewshire Council is exploring innovative ways to support residents who want to make the switch to EVs. While no official trials have launched yet, there’s growing interest in solutions like Kerbo Charge that make EV ownership more accessible in areas with limited off-street parking.

If you're a Renfrewshire resident and want to bring Kerbo Charge to your area, sign up to our waiting list and help show local demand. Click below to learn more about how it works for Scottish households.
