As electric vehicle (EV) adoption grows, one of the biggest hurdles for many households is the lack of convenient, at-home charging, especially for those without driveways. Around 25% of UK households don’t have access to off-street parking, making charging options limited and often expensive. Enter Gul-e, an innovative and robust cross-pavement EV charging solution designed specifically to tackle this challenge.
We are thrilled to announce that Maria Warner, Social Value and Sustainability Lead at ODS, will be representing Gul-e at Everything Electric South in Farnborough on October 13. Maria will be bringing her passion and expertise in cross-pavement EV charging solutions, a game-changer for households without driveways, to this exciting event.
You might have noticed more electric taxis, and electric buses. If you're really attentive you might have noticed more EV charge points on the roads, or even the very large one up at Redbridge.
For many EV owners, home charging is not only a more convenient and cost-effective option, but also a key enabler of a broader transition to sustainable energy. This is where innovative solutions like Gul-e come into play, offering a practical approach for residents without driveways to enjoy the benefits of home charging.
Urban living often comes with unique challenges, particularly for those who own or are considering purchasing an electric vehicle (EV). However, at-home EV charging solutions offer a range of benefits that can significantly enhance the experience of EV ownership for urban residents. Here's why households who live in the UK’s towns and cities should consider installing an at-home EV charging station.
In the words of the UN Environment Programme: “The state of the planet affects us all – both now and in the future. No matter who and where you are, everyone alive right now has a critical role to play for the future of land.” Every year, World Environment Day reminds us of our collective responsibility to protect the planet. In the UK, local authorities are at the forefront of this mission, striving to meet ambitious sustainability targets that are driven by national legislation, regional initiatives, and international commitments.
Catch up on the recent discussion between Gul-e's Project Lead, Lewis Dixon, and Gary Comerford for The Pavement Charging episode on The EV Musings Podcast.
The Gul-e project was driven by the need to support the predicted rapid uptake of electric vehicles (EVs). Its innovative cross-pavement solution allows residents to safely charge their EV on the street outside their home, using their own power supply, and without causing a trip hazard.
The Gul-e cable gully in the trial provides a discrete underground channel for charging cables to run from homes to roadside parking spots. This avoids trailing cables that could cause public trip hazards.
