EVA England takes a deep-dive into the Gul-e solution
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.
Around 25% (6.6 million[1]) of UK households rely on on-street parking and are therefore unable to charge EVs at home.
Reliance on charging away from home represents a substantial barrier to EV adoption. Aside from logistical impracticalities, public and destination charging (such as on-street, public/private car parks, and service stations) is more expensive.
The need for home charging options is evidenced by a rise in the number of EV users trailing charging cables across public highways, generating trip hazards and diminishing inclusive mobility.
