Across Richmond upon Thames, electric vehicles are becoming a familiar sight. As more residents move away from petrol and diesel, one challenge keeps coming up: how do you charge at home when you don’t have a driveway?

For homes with private parking, the answer is simple. A home EV charger unlocks cheap overnight electricity and total convenience. But in much of Richmond, Twickenham, Teddington, Barnes, and Kew, on‑street parking is part of daily life. Until now, that’s meant relying on public chargers and paying premium rates.

Our discreet cable gully system changes that. It allows your EV charging cable to run neatly beneath the pavement, so you can charge from your own electricity supply without trailing cables or trip hazards. The result? A cleaner street, safer pavements, and a charging setup that blends seamlessly into the neighbourhood.

Replacing regular public charging with off‑peak home charging can cut your running costs dramatically, often by around £4,000 per year. That saving means the investment in a Kerbo Charge channel and home charger can pay for itself far sooner than many drivers expect.

With off‑peak home electricity available from around 7.5p per kWh on tariffs such as Octopus Energy, compared to roughly 55p per kWh for local public chargers, the difference quickly adds up (source: Zap‑Map).

Richmond upon Thames has long championed cleaner air and low‑emission transport. This solution supports that ambition by making EV ownership realistic for residents who park on the street, without changing the character of the area or compromising pedestrian safety.

Richmond upon Thames Council has made cross-pavement charging available to all residents. To get your EV charger & channel installtion simply hit the button below.
