Fleet World – Bromley deploys Gul-e charging solution for residents without driveways
Bromley is deploying a new charging solution to allow residents without driveways to benefit from home charging.
The London borough is trialling the Gul-e solution, developed by Oxford City Council and providing a secure cable gully fitted into the pavement to enable EV charging while removing potential pedestrian trip hazards. It also means that drivers can access the cheaper costs of home charging compared to public devices, helping persuade would-be EV motorists to make the switch.
Bromley is the latest local authority to trial the solution, which helps councils to reach local EV strategies, transport decarbonisation and net zero policy targets while reducing the investment needed in on-street infrastructure, subsequent maintenance and contract management.
Previous successful Gul-e trials have taken place with councils in Oxfordshire and Bedfordshire.

and was a big part of my decision to buy an EV.”
