Six new Gul-e cross-pavement charging units have been installed as part of Suffolk County Council's trial of cross pavement channels. This innovative solution enables EV owners without driveways to charge their vehicles from home without creating hazards or obstructing footpaths.
Between 2023 and 2024, Abingdon Verification Instruments (AVi) carried out a series of thorough tests for ODS as part of our groundbreaking Gul-e project. The result? Comprehensive reports packed with data analysis, high-quality imagery, and video documentation which have helped shape our maintenance planning and informed product warranty assumptions.
Gwent Accelerates Toward a Greener Future with New Gul-e On-Street EV Home Charging Trial.
Up to 200 households invited to participate in pilot project enabling home EV charging for residents without driveways.
Join us from 1–3 July at Stand A16, where Jason Munro and Gary Kinzett from the Gul-e team will be showcasing our safe, simple, and durable cross-pavement EV charging solution. Discover how Gul-e is making it easier for households without driveways to switch to electric vehicles—helping Local Authorities lead the way in sustainable transport planning.
Gary Kinzett from the Gul-e team was delighted to join Electric Evolution podcast host, Liz Allan, for a lively discussion about the urgent need for a more standardised and inclusive approach to pavement access for EV charging. Together, Liz and Gary explored the growing demand for home EV charging infrastructure where residents don't have driveways. Gary explained how Gul-e's innovative, robust underground cable channels enable safe, low-cost charging directly outside homes.
Safety has always been a top priority in the design of Gul-e. Gul-e provides a permanent, secure solution with no loose or protruding elements. The cross-pavement solution sits flush with the pavement, and has no lid mechanism, thus minimising the potential for trip hazards. It can also be used with one hand, ensuring accessibility for residents, wheelchair users, and those with mobility aids.
On April 22, 2025, the world comes together once again to celebrate Earth Day. This year’s theme, “Our Power, Our Planet,” is more than a slogan - it’s a rallying cry. A reminder that the solutions to climate change are not only in the hands of governments or tech giants - they're in ours, in our homes, on our streets, and in the everyday choices we make.
"“It only took about an hour to get the Gul-e set up after the home chargepoint was installed,” says William. “Now we can charge at home just like anyone else.”"
