The UK government has released new guidance to support local authorities in England in developing policies for cross-pavement electric vehicle (EV) charging solutions. These solutions, such as Gul-e by ODS, enable residents without off-street parking to safely and conveniently charge their EVs at home by allowing charging cables to pass across or through pavements.

Public EV charging remains a significant hurdle for widespread electric vehicle adoption, especially for disabled drivers. Despite falling wholesale energy prices, the cost of using public rapid and ultra-rapid chargers is still steep.

Suffolk County Council is partnering with Gul-e to trial our innovative cross-pavement EV charging solution for households without driveways. Local households without driveways are encouraged to apply to join the trial and be among the first to benefit from Gul-e's safe, easy and convenient solution.

In the latest issue of Housing Quality Magazine from HQN, Gul-e Project Lead, Lewis Dixon, discusses how cross-pavement EV charging is set to revolutionise EV accessibility for these local authority housing communities, offering a greener, more sustainable future.

At Gul-e by ODS, we don’t just offer an electric vehicle (EV) charging solution; we are driven by a deeper mission - to make a meaningful, lasting impact in the communities we serve. Our approach goes beyond profits, putting people and public services at the heart of what we do. Every penny of profit generated by Gul-e is reinvested into local public services, ensuring that our work benefits not just a select few, but entire communities.

When comparing Gul-e to other solutions, several key distinctions emerge. Let’s explore the difference. 

This month, the dynamic Gul-e team is gearing up to hit the road once again, bringing our groundbreaking cross-pavement EV charging solution to the forefront at the UK's premier event for highways professionals - Highways UK!

Come and meet the Gul-e team at the LGA Conference & Exhibition in Harrogate later this month. Discover how you can enable households in your Local Authority without driveways to more easily switch to driving electric! The team's calendar is now open for this event, and they are ready for you to book a time to discuss how Gul-e can support your Local Authority's efforts in achieving its sustainability targets.
