Charge your electric car at home in Renfrewshire, even without a driveway
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.

How it works for Renfrewshire residents
Using a public charger for a single charge can be around £25 more expensive than at home (source: Zap Map), meaning many people are taking risks and having to find alternative solutions when they don’t have a driveway. These photos show how our solution makes charging easy for residents with street parking.
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.
Frequently asked questions from Renfrewshire residents
-
Our duct takes the Type 2 cable, which is the standard cable for all UK electric cars.
-
Most charging cables are long enough to reach either one space up or one space down from directly outside your house. Still taken? We find most residents just wait until the space becomes free and then move their car over.
-
We can install in to bitumen, paving stones, and brick surfaces.
-
Although the channel is strong enough to withstand the pressure of any UK vehicle, we do not install across roads because it’s not entirely safe for you to be positioned in the roadway while you insert and remove your charging cable.
-
It is possible but not recommended - it involves ground excavation and laying of a concrete base which is often undesirable due to the permanent removal of green space.
-
Yes, we can provide both the duct and the wall mounted charging unit, or just the duct.
