Energy Saving Trust – Piloting chargepoint cable pavement gullies in Oxfordshire
For residents without off-street parking, dedicated pavement cable gullies offer a potentially promising solution, allowing a driver to discretely run a chargepoint cable from a home chargepoint unit to their vehicle.
Grant funding has been awarded to Oxfordshire County Council and ODS (a Local Authority Trading Company owned by Oxford City Council) to develop the innovative solution in phase two of the OxGul-e project.
Oxfordshire’s electric vehicle (EV) strategy promotes a hierarchy of solutions for residents without off-street parking to enable them to charge their EV as close to home as possible.

New local authority guidance on cross-pavement EV charging solutions
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.
High costs of public EV charging: A barrier to disabled drivers
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 households encouraged to join new Gul-e trial
Suffolk County Council is partnering with Gul-e to trial our innovative cross-pavement EV charging solution for households without driveways.
