Charge Gully™

Safe EV Charging Across the Pavement

Charging an electric vehicle at home is the most convenient and cheapest way to charge, however this is currently only available to people who have a driveway.

If you need to charge your electric car without off-street parking, you will likely need to drive to more expensive public chargers. Cable protectors across the pavement still leave a trip hazard for pedestrians, prams and disabled users.

We have created the ideal cross pavement solution to charge an electric car without a driveway.

Charge Gully is the lockable, ultra-shallow and durable cable channel that allows to run a charging cable safely across the pavement.

A carefully designed and Council-approved channel installed across the pavement to the kerbside.

Lockable

  • Our unique locking mechanism is operated via a special tool. It ensures that the lid is locked shut so no one can take the cable out of the channel but you.

  • Eliminates the risk of cable being pulled out when unattended and creating a trip hazard.

Ultra-shallow

  • Being only 45mm deep, the channel sits within the top course of the pavement at least 70mm thick.

  • This means there is no risk of disturbing existing underground services.

  • The channel is installed in less than 2h minimising disturbance to the pavement.

Durable

  • Made from corrosion and UV resistant marine grade 6063 T6 aluminium complying with BS EN 124 (British Standard for gully tops and manholes tops for vehicular and pedestrian areas).

    Our channel is also anodised for extra protection.

  • The channel uses part recycled aluminium, which in turn can be entirely recycled making the channel compatible with the circular economy.

Saves money

Home charging is the cheapest way to charge. The average price of public chargers of 56p/kWh is five to ten times the average price of domestic charging on an off-peak overnight tariff of 8.5p/kWh (Zap Map Insight Index, February 2024).

Register for Peer-to-Peer charging networks such as Zap-Home and get return on your investment quicker by earning money sharing your charger with your neighbours. It's a like Airbnb for EV chargers.

Saving £25 per use charging at home using an off-peak tariff compared to a public charger, it takes less than a year to payback if charging once a week*

  • Based on off-peak tariff of 7.5p/kWh and average price of public charger of 60p/kWh based on charge from 20% to 80% of 82kW battery (e.g. VW ID4)

Future-proof & Eco Friendly
