The problem

Got an electric car but no driveway?

Millions of people park on the street outside their home. Until now, that's made charging harder and more expensive.

Public charging costs more

Without a driveway, most drivers rely on public charge points and pay public rates every time.

Trailing cables aren't the answer

A cable left across the pavement is a trip hazard for anyone walking past, and a worry for you.

Home charging has been for driveways

Cheap overnight charging at home has mostly been for people with somewhere to park off the road.

The solution

Meet cross-pavement charging

Kerbo Charge is a slim channel installed flush into the pavement, running from your property to the kerb. Your cable sits inside it, out of the way, so you can charge your car on the street just like you would on a driveway.

  • Sits completely flush and heel-safe
  • The lid snaps shut behind your cable
  • Neat, discreet and neighbour-friendly
Everyday use

Plugging in takes about 30 seconds

Once your channel is installed, charging at home is this simple.

1

Plug into your home charger

Plug your charging cable into the charger on your house, as you would with a driveway.

2

Drop the cable into the channel

Lay your cable in the channel and the lid snaps shut behind it, like a zip.

3

Plug into your car

Charge overnight on your home electricity. It takes about 30 seconds to plug in.

Questions people ask first

New to cross-pavement charging? Start here.

What is cross-pavement charging?

It's a way to charge an electric car parked on the street from your own home's electricity. A cable runs from your house to your car through a safe route across the pavement, instead of lying on top of it.

Is it safe for people walking past?

Yes. The channel sits completely flush with the pavement and is heel-safe, so there's nothing to trip over. It's been tested to BS EN 1433.

Do I need permission from my council?

Your council needs to approve the location before your channel is installed. Check your postcode to see if Kerbo Charge is available on your street.

Do I need a home charger?

Yes, you plug into a charger fitted to your home. You may be eligible for £500 off a home charger through a government grant. Read our guide to the grants.

How do I pay?

Pay upfront or spread the cost over 4 interest-free payments.
